Every year, thousands of people flock to downtown Fruita to celebrate the life of a world-famous headless chicken named Mike. The 2024 festival will be held on May 31 and June 1 at the Fruita Civic Center Pavilion. There will be food vendors, artisans, live music, 5k run, car show, free backyard games, disc golf, wing and peep eating contests, and a pancake breakfast.
