Dakotafest is built for business and powered by partnerships. We are serious about helping move your operation forward. Dakotafest is where business gets done - through connections and conversations with real people who understand the work you do. Once a year, we endeavor to provide one place to showcase agriculture-focused products, services and technologies from over 400 exhibitors as well as provide fun for the whole family.

Real People. Real Relationships. Real Results. That's Dakotafest.
