The Gympie Music Muster has once again proven it’s one of Australia’s most community-minded festivals, taking home Community Contribution of the Year and being named Runner-Up for Not-for-Profit Business of the Year at the 2025 Gympie Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.
The Muster was a finalist in three categories – Tourism, Not-for-Profit Organisation, and Community Contribution – demonstrating its importance as both a major tourism drawcard and a key supporter of local charities and community groups.
This year’s event once again welcomed around 60,000 people through the gates, and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for community groups, service clubs and charities.
Muster CEO Greg Cavanagh said the accolades were a credit to the small office team and the thousand or so volunteers from over 40 community groups who made the event possible.
“The Gympie Music Muster is all about supporting the community, and these awards reflect the heart and hard work of everyone involved,” Mr Cavanagh said.
“We operate with a small core team, and what makes the Muster truly special is the spirit of giving back. Thousands of volunteers and community groups give their time before, during and after the festival to make sure it all runs smoothly including site preparation, hospitality, and logistics.
“Every year, the money we raise goes directly back to community organisations, and it’s wonderful to see how the Muster continues to make a difference across the Gympie region, Queensland, and beyond.”
Established in 1982, the Gympie Music Muster has become one of Australia’s most respected music festivals.
