Welcome to Pine River! The 150th Planning Committee has so many wonderful events planned for this year’s sesquicentennial celebration.
Our annual events span all seasons, with Happy Dancing Turtle’s Back to Basics event and the weekly farmers market kicking off early in the year. In the summer we highlight Dam Days, a Rhubarb Festival, the Lakes Bluegrass Festival and the Cass County Fair. We will be celebrating Pine River’s sesquicentennial over the weekend of July 6-8 with a Pine River-Backus All School Reunion, parade, car show, dance and beer garden, variety show including a skit written by Candace Simar, Picklefest, quilt show, camping at the fairgrounds, music, games, Lions Club breakfast, food trucks, sidewalk sales, beard contest, history tours of the cemetery, George Barclay ranch location, historic depot and MORE!
The Arts Off 84 Art Crawl, Heritage Days and the Buckskinner Encampment draw people here in the fall, and craft fairs and the Parade of Lights occur in the winter months.
