President’s message
Welcome to the 154th Dandenong Show.
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 154th Dandenong Show.
I am incredibly proud of the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society Committee and the tremendous amount of work they have done to bring you the very best show possible. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication and commitment.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to our Stewards, Judges, Traders, Sponsors and, most importantly, our Volunteers. It’s your time and effort that makes this show what it is. If you’d like to join our wonderful volunteer team, please reach out via our website or send us a message on Facebook—we’d love to hear from you.
To our Exhibitors, we wish you the very best in your pursuit of excellence at the 2025 Show. This year we’ve added some exciting new classes, including a confectionery section in the Primary, Secondary and Open cooking competitions, and an Indigenous section—I’m especially looking forward to seeing the damper on display.
We’re also delighted to welcome a new sponsor, Coffey Ford, who are proudly supporting the Animal Nursery and our brand-new Kids Corner. Children will be able to make bookmarks, Christmas ornaments, and more—and every child will take home a Coffey Ford showbag with a drink bottle and cap.
Finally, our Attractions Committee has worked tirelessly to ensure there’s free, family-friendly entertainment for all ages. From competitions to live shows, there’s truly something for everyone.
I look forward to seeing you at the Show and sharing in the fun, excitement, and community spirit that makes the Dandenong Show so special.
Leanne Graham
President 2025/2026
