Description
The World’s Biggest Fish Fry revolves around fried catfish dinners (12,000 pounds to be exact), parades, dancing, rodeo nights, carnival rides, fishing, and more.
This long-standing spring celebration began as “Mule Day” in 1938. After Kentucky Lake was formed, it became the World's Biggest Fish Fry, a celebration of fishing, food, and friends!
The goal of this favorite festival? Making sure every guest goes home well-fed and happy. If you didn’t grow up around the delicacy of catfish, a platter served in the “Fish Tent” might seem overwhelming. The generous portions include farm-raised catfish fried to perfection, hushpuppies, coleslaw, beans, French fries piled high and a cold drink to wash it all down.
The week-long festival features concerts, a carnival, a grand parade, rodeo, and catfish races, yes, you read that correctly! Check our event schedule for a full list of event details and locations.
