Agri-Show

The Peace Country Classic Agri-Show is celebrating its 40th year March 12-14.

Since 1986, this annual event at Evergreen Park in Grande Prairie has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated agricultural showcases.

Each March, the three-day show brings together farmers, ranchers, families, and businesses for a wide range of events, including a bull sale, kids’ auction, horse program, and hundreds of exhibitors inside and outside the TARA Energy Services Centre.

Join us as we celebrate four decades of agriculture, innovation, and community in the Peace Country.

Show hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

The Show kicks off with the New Horizon Co-op Exhibitors Breakfast on Thursday. Open to exhibitors only.

All three days the public can stop by the 100-plus exhibitors booths inside and outside the TARA Energy Services Centre.

The Peace Crafts Show & Sale goes all three days in the MD of Greenview North Wing Grand Hallways during Show hours. Same days and hours as the Safety City Interactive Zone presented by Fountain Tire in Keddie’s Korner in the TARA Centre.

Friday it gets busier.

Anyone 18 or over can take part in the Explore The Ag Show Passport Program.

For all 40 years of the  Ag Show there are four exhibitors who have been involved in every one – County of Grande Prairie, Culligan, Keddie’s and  RBC.

The Ag Show committee and the community thanks them for the long-time support.
