Overview
About the event
Braham Pie Day started as a sweet and simple gathering back in 1990. The initial event was a pie and ice cream social created to bring people together and raise funds for local activities.
It was supported by a tourism grant from the state, recognizing the growing popularity of Braham�??s pies, a reputation that had been building since the 1930s and 40s.
During those decades, travelers would often stop in Braham for a pie break while heading to their lake houses, making the town�??s pies a beloved local tradition.
The event officially became an annual celebration in 1990, shortly after Independence Day, but it soon moved to the first Friday of August in 1992. This change came when the Isanti County Historical Society took over organizing the festivities, helping to shape Pie Day into a larger community event.
