FESTI VA L S KING TURKEY DAY
INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL
Don’t miss Worthington’s King Turkey Day celebration. For more than 80 years, this event has attracted thousands of people to Worthington. Start your day at the free pancake breakfast. During the Great Gobbler Gallop, live turkeys are raced down the street in a friendly rivalry with Cuero, Texas. A delegation from Cuero brings a turkey to challenge Worthington’s famous turkey, Paycheck. Right after the gallop, one of the area’s largest parades kicks off. Hundreds of people gather along Worthington’s Tenth Street to catch the action. A featured speaker, 10K race and children’s activities are all a part of King Turkey Day festivities.
