What is the International Plowing Match & Rural Expo?

In short, the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) is a multi-day celebration of agriculture and rural living. There are plowing competitions, a range of activities for people of all ages, numerous opportunities to learn about agriculture, near-constant live entertainment in multiple Match venues, hundreds of vendors and exhibitors (large and small equipment, lifestyle items and much more), a wide variety of food โ€ฆ the list goes on.

Itโ€™s the largest event of its kind in North America. With so much to see and do, plan to spend more than one day!

The IPM is held in a different community each year, highlighting the many great things the area has to offer and attracting 80,000+ people from across Ontario, throughout Canada, the United States and beyond.

Tourism industry figures put the economic impact of the IPM at about $25 million annually (not including the long-term benefits this kind of exposure provides a community). It spurs tourism in the surrounding area for years to come.
