Testicle Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Testicle Festival is an event held at several small towns in which the featured activity is the consumption of animal testicles, usually battered and fried.[1] The oldest such festival takes place in Byron, Illinois,[2] and features turkey testicles. Similar festivals are held in Deerfield, Michigan; Olean, Missouri; Oakdale, California; Huntley, Illinois; and Missoula, Montana, some of which feature cattle testicles.[3][4][5]

Every year in September the villages of Ozrem and Lunjevica in the municipality of Gornji Milanovac, Serbia, hosts the World Testicle Cooking Championship. [6][7] The festival serves up a variety of testicles, including wildlife. It also gives awards for "ballsy" news makers. U.S. President Barack Obama and pilot Chesley Sullenberger won awards in 2010.
