A testicle festival is an event where the featured activity is the consumption of animal testicles, usually battered and fried.[1]
The oldest of such festivals takes place in Byron, Illinois,[2] and features turkey testicles. Similar festivals in the US are held in Deerfield, Michigan; Olean, Missouri; Tiro, Ohio; Oakdale, California; Ashland, Nebraska; Huntley, Illinois; Stillwater, Oklahoma;[3] Salmon, Idaho;[4] Clinton, Montana; Suring, Wisconsin,Dundas, Wisconsin, LaValle, Wisconsin, and Bentonville, Arkansas,[5] some of which feature Rocky mountain oysters (cattle testicles).[6][7] The Montana State Society has held an annual Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival in Clinton, Montana, since 2005.[8]
Every year in September the villages of Ozrem and Lunjevica in the municipality of Gornji Milanovac, Serbia, host the World Gonad Cooking Championship.[9] The festival serves up a variety of testicles, including wildlife. It also gives awards for "ballsy" newsmakers. U.S. President Barack Obama and pilot Chesley Sullenberger won awards in 2010.[10]
