Paul Bunyan Days is a 4-day celebration of our logging history in Saint Maries, Idaho. This festival has been held on Labor Day Weekend since 1968. We have a great variety of food and craft vendors, a carnival (Paradise Amusements), logging and water events, Tug-of-War contest, Demolition Derby at the Benewah County Fairgrounds, the largest fireworks display in the Northwest, Parade and free entertainment throughout the weekend. The attendance for the 4 day celebration is estimated at 27,000 people, we don’t charge for parking or admission to the park for any of our events (There is an admission charge for the demolition derby). This is totally a family fun weekend! Please leave your pets at home, as animals are prohibited in the park. 

Logging Events will be on Sunday August 31st, following the Auction.
