Founded in 2016 in New Orleans, the National Fried Chicken Festival presented by Raising Cane’s is a two-day outdoor festival bringing together hundreds of thousands from across the nation around a shared love of great food, music, and culture. Last fall, the festival attracted a record-breaking 123,000 attendees from across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and the entire U.S. to celebrate and enjoy the iconic Southern dish, which earned FCF the #6 spot on the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards list of top Speciality Food Festivals.
