Calf Fry Festival and BBQ Cook-Off

A Vinita tradition since 1979, the World's Largest Calf Fry Festival & BBQ Cook-Off features plenty of fun for the whole family. Celebrate Vinita's rich ranching history by tasting the festival's namesake, calf fries, also known as a local "delicacy" and some of the best BBQ in the region.

Visitors who wish to taste the calf fries (also referred to as Rocky Mountain oysters) or BBQ can purchase tickets to enter the cooking area. Vote for your favorite team in the People's Choice competition and sample other treats.
