Looking for the wildest, most unforgettable day of the summer? Let us introduce you to the Excavation Games at OZ Farm! Think heavy equipment competitions, live DJ sets, local brews, and a junk car demolition spectacle that’s basically the Super Bowl of smashing things—set against the stunning backdrop of Saugerties, NY.
This one-of-a-kind event turns skilled excavator operators into rockstars as they compete in over-the-top challenges like Giant Pickup Sticks and Heavy Equipment Mini Golf. These machines do things you wouldn’t believe—flipping logs with surgical precision, racing through obstacle courses, and even playing super-sized soccer. The crowd is electric, the energy is high, and the action is nonstop.
And just when you think it can’t get any more intense, the grand finale kicks in: the legendary Junk Car Smash. Retired cars are brought into the ring and meet their dramatic end under the crushing weight of an excavator’s wrath—all in front of a screaming, cheering audience. Got a clunker in the driveway? Bring it along and let it go out in a blaze of glory.
But Excavation Games isn’t just about the machines. This is a full-blown summer celebration. Picture yourself sipping a cold craft beer in the beer garden while DJs spin high-energy sets in the background. Food trucks serve up all your festival favorites, while kids run wild in the bounce houses and pet ponies nearby. Local vendors offer everything from gear to giveaways, and yes—there’s even a pet parade.
All of it unfolds at OZ Farm, one of the most unique and welcoming spaces in the Hudson Valley. With wide open fields, mountain views, and a creative spirit that’s hard to top, it’s the perfect place to kick back, cheer loud, and make summer memories that’ll stick.
