Giddy up y’all! The Armstrong Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE) is back to celebrate its 120th year and, as always, it's bursting with activities. 

The agriculturally-centred event will once again conquer the Hassen Arena in Armstrong, BC from Wednesday, Aug. 28 to Sunday, Sept. 1, bringing forth five days of education, rodeo and family-friendly fun. 

A boisterous event, the IPE truly has something for everyone and works hard to provide a space that is welcoming to one and all. 

Attendees can look forward to learning more about the various types of agriculture and British Columbia’s vital role in the industry through various informational booths as well as meeting some of the adorable barnyard critters involved. 

The grandstand is the place to hang out for those of you who love all things rodeo as it will host all of the classic events including mini chuckwagon races. Click here for the full rodeo schedule.

Aside from the usual things you’ve come to expect from the agricultural extravaganza, the IPE will, of course, be bumping all weekend long with the sweet sounds of music. 

Expect to see the obvious country favourites in addition rock and roll tribute acts, Polynesian dancers and even a youth talent competition. Click here for the live music schedule.

Families can also look forward to the informative and engaging ‘Kids World Stage’ that will highlight various acts including reptile seminars, hula dancers, clowns and so much more.

As always, the IPE will host an impressive midway filled with various exciting rides, carnival games, market vendors and downright delicious treats for anyone and everyone to enjoy.

The best part? The midway stays open from 11 am to 11 pm all five days.
