Every spring thousands of people flock to downtown Fruita to celebrate the life of a world-famous headless chicken named Mike. The festival is held in the first week of June 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.
