Every year, thousands of people flock to downtown Fruita to celebrate the life of a world-famous headless chicken named Mike. The festival is typically held in the first week of June at the Fruita Civic Center Pavilion. There will be food vendors, artisan vendors, live music, 5k run, car show, free backyard games, wing and peep eating contests, and a pancake breakfast.
Applications to become a vendor at the festival will be available at miketheheadlesschicken.org.
