Overview:

There is almost no dish in America’s culinary history that inspires as much pure love as fried chicken.  This is the premise behind the development of Fried Chicken Festival, set to debut in Chicago on August 13th-14th in Lincoln Park.

The event formula is simple.  At least 10 of Chicago’s best fried chicken chefs offer plates of their signature fried chicken and/or fried chicken sandwiches along with a wide variety of sides. There is plenty of champagne, bourbon and cold beer to wash it all down while A-list entertainment performs in tandem on two stages.  Fried Chicken Fest is  a modern day version of an old fashioned picnic and its what Chicago is craving right now!

Visitors pay $10 admission.
