International Harvester enthusiasts, collectors, and families will gather in Huron, South Dakota, for the 2026 National Red Power Round Up. The event will take place on June 25–27, 2026, at the South Dakota State Fairgrounds and celebrates the history of International Harvester equipment and agricultural heritage.
The 2026 event marks the 37th National Red Power Round Up. The gathering attracts visitors from across the country who share an interest in antique tractors, engines, trucks, farm equipment, and agricultural memorabilia.
Attendees will have the opportunity to view a wide variety of restored and preserved International Harvester machinery. Exhibits will also feature household appliances, milking equipment, toy collections, and other items that showcase the history of farming and rural life.
The three-day event offers activities for all ages. Visitors can enjoy live music from the South Dakota Army National Guard Sergeant Rock 147th Army Band, browse more than 80 vendor booths, and explore displays of food, shopping items, toys, and International Harvester collectibles.
Additional attractions include daily parades sponsored by Viscosity Oil, children’s activities, educational workshops, guest speakers, and panel discussions. The South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association will host a steak feed, while the South Dakota State Fair will present the Great Plains Truck and Tractor Pull.
One of the featured attractions for 2026 is the custom CASE IH 355 Magnum tractor known as Providence. As part of the America250 celebration, the one-of-a-kind tractor honors the history of American agriculture while highlighting its future. The tractor features hand-painted patriotic artwork and will be available for visitors to view throughout the event.
Organizers encourage exhibitors who wish to display equipment, collections, or special exhibits to register. Visitors are also encouraged to purchase admission passes, steak feed tickets, and Truck and Tractor Pull tickets before the event.
