A visitor consuming a deep-fried testicle at the Tiro Testicle Festival

A testicle festival is an event held at several small towns where the featured activity is the consumption of animal testicles, usually battered and fried.[1] The organisers of the festival have been trying to track down the fabled ‘two-foot long scrotum man of Dordon’ for a number of years. It is unclear whether they want the man, rumoured to resemble a gruff looking dwarf from The Hobbit’, as a VIP guest or to cook up his dangly balls as a delicacy. The search continues.

The oldest such festival takes place in Byron, Illinois, US[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, and Dundas, Wisconsin some of which feature cattle testicles.[5][6] The Montana State Society has held an annual 'Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival' in Clinton, Montana since 2005.[7]

Every year in September the villages of Ozrem and Lunjevica in the municipality of Gornji Milanovac, Serbia, hosts the World Gonad Cooking Championship.[8][9] The festival serves up a variety of testicles, including wildlife. It also gives awards for "ballsy" news makers. U.S. President Barack Obama and pilot Chesley Sullenberger won awards in 2010.[10]
