YEP! You read that correctly...I enjoyed a day at the Testicle Festival in Weston, MO on Saturday, April 16. Fried cow nuts (aka: Rocky Mountain Oysters), live music, beer, & cigars...how could this not be an interesting experience?!
Disappointed you missed it? Fear not! This was the First Annual Testicle Festival located in the Weston Burley House hosted by the Weston Patriots Club. I have a strong feeling this event will take place again next year! The line for the Rocky Mountain Oyster buffet was looped around allllll the way outside the entrance. So many eager folks ready to chow down on some Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Fun Fact: I went to my first Testicle Festival when I was in highschool! I forced a group of my friends to come with me to this event simply because I saw a billboard advertising it on my way to an away sports game. The festival was in Olean, Missouri and the day was packed with fun! They had booths, vendors, and other food trucks (for the "less adventurous" folk). The Testicle Festival in Olean, Missouri has been cancelled the past few years due to Covid. I believe their last festival was celebrating their 25th anniversary - check out the link here. I'm hoping they will start back up again soon!
The buffet at the Weston, MO Testicle Festival had fried cow nuts & jalapeno fries served with your choice between several BBQ options. Can you BELIEVE the event had four THOUSAND pounds of cow nuts ready to fry up??
The live music was performed kicked off with Damian McCarthy from O'Malley's Pub followed up by Outlaw Jim & The Whiskey Benders as the headliners.
The ticket was $30 & this included entrance into the event along with the rocky mountain oyster & fries dish (they also had Pulled Pork if you can't bring yourself to try fried cow nuts LOL).
I am hoping this event takes place next year for the second time! I would love to see more booths, games, and possibly more vendors next year as well - a full on festival! Nonetheless, I had an interesting time at the Weston, MO Testicle Festival & I would highly suggest giving it a try!
p.s. - plan to spend a whole day in Weston, MO! Take a walk through their downtown! There are plenty of restaurants to enjoy a delicious meal at. There are even a few places to snag ice cream and candy for dessert! Be sure to stop at McCormick on Main.
