There is always something happening in and around Guyra.

From January's regional Lamb & Potato Festival, to February's Annual Show, to December's Rotary Christmas Street Parade and Carnival plus sporting carnivals year round, there is something for everyone.

Lamb & Potato Festival
Guyra is well known for its Lamb and Potato Festival held in mid to late January.

Travelers find the stop in Guyra on their holidays or on their way to the Country Music Festival a chance to relax on the long trip, pick up a bargain from one of the many market stall holders, and be entertained while trying one of Guyra's famous lamb pies. There is fun for all the family and a chance to dine al fresco under the shady trees along the highway.

Many people from within the region also take the opportunity to come to Guyra for the festival and stroll down Bradley Street for some fine food and fine shopping.

Antique Machinery Rally
The Guyra & District Historical Society Machinery Group holds an antique machinery rally each year in conjunction with the festival.

This is held on the Australia Day long weekend and is always very well patronised from near and far, by enthusiasts transporting their favourite machines for display.

For information regarding the Festival or Rally, contact Ron Lockyer on 6779 1621.

Guyra Show
The Guyra Show attracts many people from far and wide. It is easy to see why, with rides for the kids, an extensive range of exhibitions to view and there is always something happening in the ring. The pavilion exhibits are always of exceptional quality and a number of entries over the years have gone on to win at zone level and at the Sydney Royal Easter Shows.

The Show is a 'must do' for those considering visiting Guyra in February featuring a spectacular fireworks display on opening night, and usually officiated by a well known celebrity.

Sports Events
During the year there is an endless array of sporting activities including golf tournaments, bowls championships, shooting competitions, polocrosse carnival, camp drafting, pony camp, and come September, Guyra is always well represented in the finals of all the winter sports.

Christmas Carnival
An event of enduring popularity is the Rotary Christmas Street Parade and Carnival. Held on the first Sunday each December, this event has street stalls, line dancing, music and entertainment for the whole family such as wool bale rolling and live music. Santa makes an appearance and you can try your luck on one of the many raffle wheels — you may even win your Christmas lunch!

Local Rotarians organise the Carnival, which closes the main street for the day.

In December 2007 the inaugural Great Tomatoe Crushing Event was held with great success. This event involved teams crushing tomatoes in a wine tub and great fun was had by all, including those who were dunked in the resultant tomato puree! The tomatoes used were destined for cattle feed and, following the event, the crushed tomatoes were transported to a local cattle property.
