The Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE) & Stampede is an exciting five-day agricultural fair that provides entertainment for all-ages. It is a premier event held each year in Armstrong, BC from Wednesday to Sunday over the Labour Day long weekend. As a grand showcase of our agricultural history, cultural and artistic talents, the IPE has become a meeting place for the Thompson Okanagan and Shuswap communities. The IPE welcomes more than 120,000 attendees, making it the 2nd largest fair in the province. The IPE offers 20 exhibition divisions, including dairy and beef cattle, goat, light and heavy horse, poultry, rabbits, swine, 4-H, baking/canning, sewing/quilting, floral, fruit, vegetables, honey, field and seed, wine and beer, and photography. The IPE also plays host to the CPR Rodeo Finals, Mini-Chuck Wagon races, the all-day Music Stage, West Coast Amusement Midway, West Coast Lumber show and much more.

What a way to celebrate 125 years. ❤️

As we close out the 2026 Armstrong IPE & Stampede, there are so many people to thank.

To our sponsors: your support made five days of agriculture, entertainment, rodeo, and community possible. We truly could not do this without you.

To everyone who walked through the gates, filled the grandstands, visited the barns, supported our vendors, and made memories with us: seeing the fairgrounds full of people is what all the work is for.

And to our staff, directors, volunteers, and everyone behind the scenes: thank you for the long days, early mornings, and countless things most people never see.

The 125th was built by this community, and we're grateful to everyone who played a part.

We'll see you next year. ❤️

🚨 SCAM ALERT: PLEASE READ 🚨

If something feels suspicious, do not send money or payment information. Please help us protect other fairgoers by sharing this reminder!

We are aware of someone currently emailing people from a fake “armstrongipe” email account and offering discounted “resale” tickets.

The ONLY official way to purchase Armstrong IPE & Stampede tickets online is through the Buy Tickets button at: 🎟️ ArmstrongIPE.com

Official IPE emails will only come from an address ending in: 📧 .com

Please also be very cautious of anyone commenting on our Facebook or Instagram posts claiming they have tickets to resell.

❌ Facebook comments
❌ Instagram comments
❌ Direct messages
❌ Marketplace listings
❌ Unofficial resale pages
❌ Links sent by strangers

These sellers should not be considered trustworthy or official IPE ticket sellers.

Even if someone says they can no longer attend, claims they can transfer tickets to you, or uses IPE branding, that does not mean the tickets are legitimate.

If tickets are not available through the Buy Tickets button on ArmstrongIPE.com, do not assume someone offering them in the comments has legitimate tickets.
