However, that mantle has been claimed by Deniliquin which previously held a small ute show as part of its annual Pastoral and Agricultural Show, but developed the idea into a tourist-attracting event. In 1999 a group of community-minded people got together with the idea of celebrating all things Australian, including the Australian icon of the ute, to attract people to the agricultural town of Deniliquin, located in the southern Riverina region of New South Wales. In its first year, the event held a Guinness Book of Records count of the largest parade of legally registered utes in the world, and each year new records are broken.

The Deniliquin Ute Muster also holds a record count for the most people wearing blue singlets - in 2010 that Guinness Book of Records count stands at 3500 people. In 2013, a new ute record of 9,736 was set and a new blue singlet record of 3,924 was counted.
