Cypress Farm & Ranch Show 2026 Set to Grow in Medicine Hat.
The Cypress Farm & Ranch Show (CFRS) is preparing to return to Medicine Hat, Alberta, on June 11 and 12, 2026, offering a dynamic platform for producers, ranchers, exhibitors, and industry leaders to connect and explore the latest in agriculture.
Held at the Cypress Centre within the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede Grounds, the two-day event continues to build its reputation as a key agricultural gathering for southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. With strong exhibitor interest and increasing attendance, CFRS is rapidly establishing itself as a must-attend event in the regional ag calendar.
A Regional Hub for Agriculture
Created to serve one of Canada’s most productive agricultural regions, the Cypress Farm & Ranch Show delivers a comprehensive showcase of farm equipment, agricultural services, livestock-focused businesses, and emerging technologies designed for modern producers.
Attendees can expect practical solutions tailored to real farm and ranch operations, alongside opportunities to learn directly from industry experts. An educational speaker series will provide insights into current trends, challenges, and innovations shaping the agriculture sector.
In addition to its business focus, the event emphasizes connection and collaboration. Networking opportunities allow producers and suppliers to build relationships and exchange knowledge in a setting designed specifically for the needs of the region.
Strong Community Partnerships Drive Growth
The show’s continued expansion reflects both industry demand and strong local partnerships. Dave Fiddler, founder of the Cypress Farm & Ranch Show, highlighted the importance of creating a regional event that delivers lasting value.
“Southern Alberta is home to some of the most productive farms and ranches in the country,” Fiddler said.
“This show was created to give producers and exhibitors a place to connect, do business, and learn from one another close to home. We are proud to see it continue to grow and create value for the industry.”
The collaboration with the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede plays a key role in enhancing the event’s reach and impact. According to General Manager Ron Edwards, the partnership strengthens both the agricultural community and the local economy.
“Medicine Hat is home to a very large agricultural trading area, making this show a perfect fit for our unique community,” Edwards said. “We know it will continue to be a great benefit to surrounding area producers and to businesses within the city as well.”
Expanded Experience with Chuckwagon Races and Marketplace
One of the defining features of CFRS is its integration with the WPCA World Chuckwagon Races, creating a unique blend of professional agriculture and western heritage entertainment. This combination attracts a diverse audience, enhancing both the business and cultural elements of the event.
The return of the Country Marketplace further expands the show’s appeal. Visitors can explore a curated selection of western-inspired goods, including handmade products, boutique items, home décor, and artisan creations. This addition introduces a lifestyle component that complements the agricultural focus while supporting small businesses and craftspeople.
A Balanced Mix of Business and Community
Beyond exhibits and education, attendees can enjoy live entertainment, food and beverage offerings, and a welcoming environment that celebrates rural life. The event is designed to balance productivity with enjoyment, ensuring that visitors can both conduct business and engage with the broader agricultural community.
With affordable admission priced at $10, and free entry for youth and children, the event remains accessible to families and professionals alike.
Looking Ahead to June 2026
