Record breaking attendance at Agribition

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) has officially wrapped up its 54th edition with its highest attendance ever recorded.

The show welcomed 151,037 visitors, making it the largest Agribition to date, reaffirming its position as Saskatchewan’s largest annual event.

There were several events going on including the Maple Leaf Circuit Finals Rodeo which hosted three sold-out, maximum capacity performances. This included two nights that sold out well in advance. Agribition also welcomed a record number of school-aged visitors through the Family Ag Pavilion, many of whom experienced agriculture up close for the very first time.

Agribition CEO Shaun Kindopp said both first timers and long-time supporters, consistently shared that the 2025 edition offered an incredible experience for their families, showcasing the unique blend of livestock excellence, education, entertainment, and community spirit.

“First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who joined us this year,” Kindopp said. “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 it takes a full team effort to bring the show 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.”

Kindopp said planning for next year is already underway. The CWA team prepares each show 51 weeks a year, and the team is already focused on building another fresh, engaging, and unique Agribition experience for 2026.
