Welcome to Smilin’ D Arena & Events!
A family-owned arena built for cutting, roping, ranch sorting, and western events located in Belgrade, Minnesota.

Smilin’ D Arena was built on our passion for the ranching lifestyle and our desire to create the ultimate venue in Central Minnesota for Western events. From ranch sorting to barrel racing, Smilin’ D’s is a space where memories are made for competitors and fans alike.
