Gordonsville Fried Chicken Festival

Saturday, October 5, 2024

11:00 AM  5:00 PM

Gordonsville is famous for its fried chicken, which was served to passengers of trains stopping in town during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by local women carrying platters of the delicacy on their heads. Nationally-known at that time, Gordonsville’s fried chicken earned the town the nickname of “chicken-leg center of the universe”.


To celebrate this special heritage, the Town of Gordonsville will hold its Famous Fried Chicken Festival on Saturday, October 7, 2023 from  11 am –  5 pm at the Gordonsville Fire Company Fair Grounds. The event  will feature a fried chicken and pie contest, wine (AND MEAD) garden, and numerous  craft and artisan vendors.



Free to attend!
