The demolition derby is one of the annual highlights of the Prince William County Fair, held in the same location in August. Saturday’s demolition derby is part of a month-long celebration of automotive events at the fairgrounds — Month of Motorsports.

A tractor pull will round out the automotive month on Saturday, April 16, at 6 p.m. Tickets for the event are sold on the fairground’s website and are $15 for ages 11, and up, $5 for ages 2 to 10, and children aged two and younger are free.
Mega passes for all three events are sold for $40 for those aged 11 and older, $10 for ages three to 10.
Each event is a competition. Contestants are vying for a $5,000 prize for each event. The winnings will be awarded during a one-night event later this fall.
Meanwhile, a spring carnival will be set up at the fairgrounds from April 2 to April 17. Visitors can purchase an unlimited ride wristband for $25. The wristband is good for only one day.
