OVERVIEW
The 153rd Waupaca County Fair comes to a crashing, smashing conclusion with a can't-miss twist on a beloved tradition. On Sunday, August 30th, at 2:00pm, the Grandstand hosts the final event of the fair: the Demo Derby featuring Demo Hockey, where demolition derby action meets the rough-and-tumble spirit of the ice rink.
In this unique variation, drivers compete not just for survival, but to push a massive oversized puck into their opponent's goal—all while metal crunches, engines roar, and cars battle for position in a chaotic fusion of two classic contact sports. It's demolition derby with a purpose, adding a whole new layer of strategy to the traditional smashing and bashing as competitors balance offense and defense behind the wheel of their beat-up machines.
Whether you're a die-hard derby fan or just looking for one last dose of fair excitement, this high-contact, high-entertainment event delivers the perfect finale to an unforgettable week. Bring the whole family to the Grandstand and watch as these fearless drivers skate, smash, and score their way to victory in the fair's most unique competition
