Grandstand Events

Friday Night Races have been cancelled because of strong storms predicted for the area this evening. Other events scheduled are still planned, weather permitting. Check back here or our Facebook page throughout the day for updates.

Racing has been part of the Fairgrounds in Grand Forks from the beginning. The River Cities Speedway at the Grand Forks County Fairgrounds is one of the top dirt tracks in the country. So it only makes sense that we include racing as part of the entertainment at the Greater Grand Forks Fair. Racing is held every Friday Night during the Summer, and it is held on Friday at the Fair.


Three classes of cars will be racing on Friday, Steffes Street stock, Rebel Midwest Mod Tours and Lightning Sprints.


Entry into the grandstands for racing at the Fair is included in your Gate Fee of $7 for everyone aged 14 and older, $5 for ages 6-13, and free for 5 and under.

We have a special day planned for Saturday in the Grandstand. The ATV Big Air Tour will return to the Greater Grand Forks Fair and put on a show at 7 pm. The performance will be part of the Gate Fee for the Fair. Big Air first performed at the GGF Fair in 2019.

The Guetter brother's ATV Big Air story started in 2004 when Jon Guetter landed the world's first ATV backflip and they have been on an epic ride ever since. The brothers took something that they loved as kids, lived out their dreams traveling all over the world, and beginning in 2014 created an all-out, nationwide tour that they are proud of.

Big Air strives to always improve their show because after 16 years they still love what they do and they are good at it.

The business is family owned and operated, and when they come to town, you become part of the ATV Big Air Tour family too. So welcome the family back to town and please enjoy the show.

A special night of racing will finish out the 2022 Greater Grand Forks Fair. Come out to the Bullring to watch the NLRA Late Model Tour. Street Stocks and a Midwest Mods will fill out the show. As always, the races are part of your gate pass for the Fair.
