The Pine County Fair is an annual event held at the Pine County Fairgrounds in Pine City, Minnesota, United States. The fair, like many in Minnesota, includes amusement rides, live entertainment and exhibits of farm animals, food, and flowers along with other types of specialty displays. Youth members of 4-H and Future Farmers of America participate by showing their animals and specialty collections.

Demolition derby

Pine County Fair’s biggest draw is the Demolition Derby. Considered the “hardest hitting demolition derby in the Midwest”,[2] the derby draws around 100 registrants each year and sells thousands of tickets, bringing in one-third of the total spending at the fair each year.[3] It is held during the first weekend of August.
