The Gladstone Region Public Holiday aligns with the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka).

The Queensland Government has a gazetted list of show holiday dates, with many Local Government Areas surrounding the Gladstone Region also recognising the Royal Queensland Show as their show holiday date.

Some schools in the North Coast region (e.g. Discovery Coast) may observe the Bundaberg Show Day as their public holiday, with dates varying by school.
