The Mackville Nationals Truck and Tractor Pulls celebrates the 50th year of pulling, community involvement, and fundraising. A famous Father’s Day tradition, the pulls will take place on June 18, 19, and 20, 2026. Born as a local, community-driven gathering, the Mackville Nationals evolved into one of the most anticipated pulling events in the Midwest. After the success at the new location in 2025, the events will continue at the Outagamie County Fairgrounds located at 637 North Main Street in Seymour, Wisconsin. The pulls are run again this year by the nonprofit, Mackville Nationals – Pulling for the Community with proceeds benefitting St. Edward the Confessor of Mackville Parish. Mackville Nationals – Pulling for the Community nonprofit president, Rodger Baum, exclaimed his excitement for the 50th year, “We look forward to an exciting show put on by N.E.W.
