McDonald says other features include a combat demonstration from the Northern Horde Medieval - a small army of enthusiasts who fight using medieval and Viking-style weapons such as spears, axes, daggers, shield and weapon combinations.
The Welsh shearing team will also pit its skills against talented local shearers in a battle against the clock.
McDonald says another highlight will be the Bay of Plenty Strongest Man contest.
However, a lot will be happening in the equestrian arena and the livestock areas, with Western Riding events and the North Island Dexter cattle breeds championships.
This, alongside the Auckland District Mounted Games, children's petting zoo, free climbing wall and volcano adventure run, a variety of food stalls, pony rides, harness horses, wood chopping, shearing events, cattle events, alpacas, kids' games, water slides, a vintage tractor display, miniature train rides, trade sites and fairground rides means there is something for everyone, says McDonald.
She is encouraging people to come along to the A&P Show to ensure it's another success.
