About This Event

World's Largest Calf Fry Festival & Cook-Off

Join us for the 44th Annual Calf Fry and BBQ Cook-Off!

The cook-off festivities will begin later than usual this year. Gates open to the public for food sampling at 3 p.m.

Entry to the festival is free!

For those who want to sample calf fries and barbecue, wristbands and tasting kits will be sold at the following prices:
Adults (12 and up): $15
Kids (6-11): $5

Your wristband and tasting kit give you access to all cooking booths to sample calf fries, barbecue, and all the delicious sides and desserts.

Awards will be given out for the cooking team categories, including traveling trophies and big cash prizes for both calf fry and barbecue competitions. We'll also be awarding some traditional honors like Belle of the Ball.
