A record number of school-aged visitors came through the Family Ag Pavilion, with many of them experiencing agriculture “up close for the very first time,” Agribition organizers added.
Feedback from new and returning visitors rated the event as an “incredible experience” that was “showcasing the unique blend of livestock excellence, education, entertainment, and community spirit that defines Agribition.”

“First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who joined us this year,” said Shaun Kindopp, CEO of Canadian Western Agribition. “Without visitors and exhibitors experiencing the show for the first time, as well as long-time return visitors, we wouldn’t see numbers like this. To everyone who waited in line, bought a ticket, and made Agribition part of their week, your support is the reason this show continues to grow.”
Kindopp said he’s proud of the team who worked hard to bring the event to life.
“Agribition is powered by more than 400 dedicated volunteers, and both full-time and part time staff who pour their heart into this event, along with the support of our sponsors and partners,” he said. “To see over 151,000 people walk through our doors this year is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the work of everyone involved.”
The CWA team is already focused on building another “fresh, engaging, and unique Agribition experience for 2026,” the organization added.
