Every November, Red Deer hosts to one of Canada’s leading agricultural events — the Agri-Trade Equipment Expo at Westerner Park. For more than 40 years, this renowned show has connected farmers, innovators, and industry professionals from across North America, cementing its place as one of the country’s top agricultural exhibitions.
What Is Agri-Trade?

Each year, more than 32,000 qualified agricultural buyers and 500 exhibitors gather to do business, explore new technologies, and plan for the season ahead.
With an estimated $300 million in annual equipment sales and tourism spending, Agri-Trade isn’t just an event, it’s a major economic driver for Red Deer and the region.
