Over the past week, the show's staff have been hard at work setting up all the rides and attractions, and it is set to be another memorable installment of the event for the Bathurst community.
Bathurst A, H and P's executive secretary Brett Kenworthy said preparations for the event have been moving along smoothly.
"The show's staff have set up the attractions very quickly as if they've been here for a month already," Mr Kenworthy said.
"It goes to show that they're eager to get this event on the road."
Mr Kenworthy said attendees can expect a strong presence of local suppliers at this year's event.
"Agricultural businesses such as Town and Country Rural Supplies and Bathurst Mowerland will be featured at this year's show, and it is businesses like them who help form the heart of this show," he said.

Starting from 5.10pm this evening, the showground is set to host a number of events including a demonstration from the Showtime FMX motocross team, a whipcracking display from Stewart Bryant and the Royal Bathurst Show Charity Esky Challenge.
"Before you even venture close to the amusement rides, there's lots of things to see and do," Mr Kenworthy said.
In regards to the amusement rides, Mr Kenworthy said there are a number of new additions to this year's show.
"We received feedback that there weren't enough rides at last year's show for children, so we've brought in a few more child-friendly rides this year," he said.
"However, we've retained favourites such as the dodgem cars and the ferris wheel."
The show will open at 9am each day across the weekend and tickets will be available at the gate.
Day tickets cost $27 for adults, $20.50 for concession and $13.50 for children, with family deals available.
