NEW ORLEANS The National Fried Chicken Festival is returning this October with a new location.
Festival organizers announced that the Fried Chicken Festival will return on the Oct. 23-24 weekend, but this time it will take place on the New Orleans Lakefront.

The New Orleans community has eagerly awaited the return of festivals, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to celebrate together once again at a new and exciting location to mark the fifth anniversary of the National Fried Chicken Festival,” said Cleveland Spears, III, FCF Executive Producer and President/CEO of the Spears Group.
