Get Up Close at the New Tractor Pull Pit Party on Closing Day of the CA Mid-State Fair
PASO ROBLES, Calif. — The California Mid-State Fair is giving fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience with the debut of the Tractor Pull Pit Party, taking place on Sunday, July 26, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., before the CMSF Tractor Pull Presented by Slime in the Chumash Grandstand Arena.
The Pit Party gives Tractor Pull ticket holders the opportunity to walk through the pit area, meet the drivers, take photos, and get an up-close look at the powerful tractors before they roar onto the track. Admission to the Pit Party is included with a valid Tractor Pull event ticket.
The Tractor Pull begins at 7:00 p.m., featuring high-horsepower machines competing for distance and bragging rights in one of the Fair's most exciting and family-friendly traditions. New for 2026, all seating is reserved.
"The Pit Party gives fans a chance to experience the sport from a whole new perspective," said Colleen Bojorquez, CEO of the California Mid-State Fair. "Whether you're a lifelong tractor pull fan or attending for the first time, it's a unique opportunity to meet the competitors, see these incredible machines up close, and make the most of the Fair's final day."
The Tractor Pull Pit Party is a great way to cap off the last day of the 2026 California Mid-State Fair. Spend the afternoon catching any exhibits, animals, attractions, food, or entertainment you may have missed during the Fair, then head to the Pit Party before enjoying an evening of horsepower and competition in the Grandstand Arena.
