Manitoba AG Days taking root in Brandon for sprawling annual exhibition

Ag Days showcases the latest in agricultural expertise, technology and equipment in Brandon.

Hundreds of exhibitors have cropped up at Brandon, Man.’s Keystone Centre for a multi-day exhibition celebrating agricultural expertise, technology and equipment.

Manitoba Ag Days brings together exhibitors and visitors from across Manitoba, Canada and the United States in a bid to connect and educate producers, exhibitors and the public.

“We have 580 exhibitors, two days full of 80 speakers. It’s all under 10-acres of roof and there’s six miles of red carpet,” Manitoba Ag Days media coordinator Theresa Hildebrand told CTV News.

The 49th annual event also features a market of local food and beverage products and the Innovation Showcase, spotlighting 28 new products or services.

Speakers include entrepreneur and “Dragons’ Den” star Arlene Dickinson and food professor Sylvain Charlebois.

Organizers say this year’s exhibition is all about celebrating agriculture’s past, present and future.

“One of the things that we really want to highlight is the evolution of Ag. We still honour the past. We have huge respect for legacy and we’re looking to the future to be new and innovative,” Hildebrand said.

AgDays 2026 runs at The Keystone Centre from Jan. 20 to 22.
