The ceremony puts an end to months of hard work by five young ladies who were vying for the title of Miss Wagga.
On Saturday Jane Morton was named Miss Wagga for 2014 while Cayde Cheney was named community princess.
Miss Morton said she was surprised to have won.
"I thought all the other girls were much more deserving than I was," she said.
After months of work which involved public speaking, organising charity events among other challenges, Miss Morton said it was a great feeling to have been named Miss Wagga.
She said the Miss Wagga Quest provided the final piece of the puzzle for the city's business, government and sporting representatives.
"We help present a well rounded image of a regional city."
"Words can't describe how excited I am about the future but also relief that the quest is over," Community princess Cayde Cheney said.
Miss Cheney is looking forward to representing Wagga and presenting a different perspective of the city.
"The Miss Wagga Quest has been held continuously for 66 years and has a reputation of turning entrants into confident ambassadors and young leaders in the community," mayor Rod Kendall said.
Councillor Kendall praised all five entrants into the quest, Kathryn Brooks, Samantha Brunskill, Rachel Parson, Miss Morton and Miss Cheney."
You have all done a marvellous job in your fundraising efforts and have proven to be impressive and outstanding young ambassadors for our beautiful city."
