In a statement delivered to the News, the Show Society relayed the unfortunate news but stressed it was full steam ahead and revealed a significant entry fee drop from the traditional $15 per person.
"Given the weather the Goulburn Show Society has had to cancel the dog show and the horse events for this coming weekend," they said.
"However the show is still going ahead with all attractions and exhibits.
"For this year only due to the wet weather gate entry fees will be only $5 per person and we welcome and encourage everyone to come support the show and all exhibitors."
Over March 5-6 visitors can expect to see Icarus stilt walkers, a variety of stalls and Dinkum Dinosaurs amongst a host of other exhibits.
A reminder that there will be a courtesy bus running between the Goulburn Workers Club rear car park and Gate four at the Goulburn Show.
The timetable is as follows:
Goulburn Workers Club - 9am, 10am, 11am, midday, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm
Gate 4 Goulburn Show - 9.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm (drop off only), 1.30pm (pick up only), 2.30pm, 3.30pm, 4.30pm
