Each year, we have the great pleasure of welcoming outstanding young individuals from our
local community into our Show Family as Show Ambassadors. This prestigious leadership
program is a proud tradition shared by agricultural shows across the country—and one we
are honoured to uphold here in Mudgeeraba.
We are continually inspired by the passion, dedication, and community spirit our
Ambassadors bring to the role. As we look ahead to the 2025 Mudgeeraba Agricultural
Show, we’re excited to see what this incredible group will achieve. Their commitment to
giving back is already evident, and we thank them in advance for the time, energy, and heart
they will contribute to our event.
Throughout the show weekend, you’ll see our Ambassadors lending a hand across every
corner of the grounds—from caring for animals and supporting volunteers, to greeting
visitors and hosting our Junior Ambassador competition. Their presence truly captures the
spirit of excellence and community that defines our Show.
