Each winter, the Billings Chamber of Commerce holds an Ag Appreciation Banquet to show appreciation for area farmers, ranchers, and the agriculture industry. Agriculture is the region’s number one industry, and the annual event gives area businesses the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the long-standing economic and cultural ties that Billings has to agriculture.

This year's event is being called the Ag Appreciation Celebration, and will be held January 31, 2020 at the MetraPark Pavilion in Billings. The event includes no host cocktails, prime rib dinner, an industry update, presentation of the Ag Excellence Award, door prizes, and entertainment by Comedian Rik Roberts. On average, 900 attend this three-hour event.
