Big Fun
All Things Chicken
Since 1981, Wayne has gone all-in on celebrating its favorite bird with a summer weekend full of chicken-themed fun. The Chicken Show features a lively downtown parade, crowd-favorite contests like the Cluck-Off, egg drop, and egg-eating competitions, and Henoween, a Friday night street festival that kicks off the celebration! This years show is July 10-11. Visitors can also enjoy the cement chicken auction, local entertainment, and plenty of small-town charm throughout the weekend. It’s free, family-friendly, and where small town fun turns eggstraordinary.

United We Cluck!
Each year, the Chicken Show introduces a new theme that helps shape the look and feel of the celebration while honoring its long-standing tradition in Wayne. This year’s theme, United We Cluck, highlights 250 Years of Feathered Freedom with a patriotic celebration of community and hometown pride. The theme also inspires the official Chicken Show T-shirt, creating a yearly keepsake that reflects the spirit of the festival.
