Rycroft Agricultural Society

The Rycroft Agricultural Society is the heart of Rycroft’s community spirit, hosting a diverse range of events in the Rycroft Ag Centre, conveniently located just off Hwy 49 in the Village of Rycroft. As a key gathering place for the Peace River Region, the Centre provides space for everything from meetings and conventions to weddings, dances, markets, and more.

One of the Society’s most exciting events is their annual Race the 8, a high-speed spectacle where teams of horses and drivers compete in an action-packed relay, showcasing agility, teamwork, and tradition. It’s a must-see event that draws participants and spectators alike, offering an exciting blend of sportsmanship and community camaraderie.

The newly constructed Rodeo Grounds are also available for rentals and annual memberships, making it an ideal venue for rodeos, jackpots, outdoor clinics, and more. Equipped with power, water, an announcer’s booth, and secure pens, the grounds are thoughtfully designed to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for both participants and attendees.
