About Our Membership

Whether you’re a long-time supporter of the Ballarat Show, passionate about regional communities, or simply keen to help celebrate and promote agriculture, membership is a way to get involved and be part of something meaningful.

At the Ballarat Agricultural & Pastoral Society, we are continuing to grow programs that celebrate and support Western Victoria’s agriculture, food and beverage, education, and community connection.

From expanding the Ballarat Wine Show and youth education initiatives, to investing in improvements across the Ballarat Showgrounds and Event Centre, there’s never been a more exciting time to be involved with the Society.

This year, one of Ballarat’s largest community events, the Ballarat Show, will deliver even more value to patrons with joyful hands-on agriculture experiences, delicious offerings from local makers and producers, expanded community partnerships, and new attractions.

Your membership helps us continue championing Western Victorian’s agriculture, celebrate regional communities and local produce, and deliver events and programs that bring people together.
