The Mudgeeraba Showground, where the Country meets the Gold Coast, is home to the Mudgeeraba Show Society, a volunteer-run, not-for-profit charity organization dedicated to showcasing the rural and pastoral roots of the community. Through its annual Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show, the society aims to preserve and perpetuate the heritage and grassroots values that agricultural shows bring to Australian communities. With a rich history dating back to 1928, the Mudgeeraba Show has grown from a small fete and flower show to a significant event that attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Aside from hosting the annual agricultural show, the Mudgeeraba Show Society offers venue hire facilities to private and corporate clients year-round. The showgrounds also provide a free and safe recreational area for the public to enjoy amidst the beautiful greenspace. The society actively supports various community organizations that showcase the rich tapestry of the region’s past, such as the Woodturners, Spinners and Weavers, the Country Women’s Association, and the Light Horse Education Museum.
As one of 129 agricultural show societies in Queensland and 580 throughout Australia, the Mudgeeraba Show Society serves as a voice and advocate for agriculture in the country. By highlighting the role of Australian farmers in the economy and community, the society plays a crucial role in promoting agricultural awareness and appreciation. Joining the Mudgeeraba Show Society as a volunteer provides individuals with the opportunity to learn new skills, make connections, and contribute to the iconic annual Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show.
