The Town of Frederick will host Chainsaws and Chuckwagons Wednesday, July 17 through Saturday, July 20 on Main Street in Downtown Frederick. This event will showcase carvers from across the country transforming logs into amazing pieces of art, food truck ‘chuckwagons’, entertainment and live music. Chainsaws and Choppers on Friday night is co-hosted with Harley Davidson and will be a “rock n’ rollin’” good time.
The carving begins Wednesday, July 17 with carvers turning tree trunks into beautiful pieces of art. Thursday through Saturday will feature live entertainment, a beer garden and food trucks to enjoy while taking in the wood carvings. On Friday evening 4-9 p.m., visitors can enjoy performances from Defunkt Railroad and Strange Parade to celebrate Chainsaws and Choppers. Thursday and Saturday at 6 p.m., visitors will get a visual treat with two quick carve auctions that will take place in Crist Park. Carvers have one hour to create a smaller carving that is then auctioned off on the spot. On Saturday July 20, the Town of Frederick will be hosting a Chainsaw Carving Festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. While carvers creating their masterpieces, Salida Circus will be performing from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with aerialists, stilt walkers and more. From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Ann Lincoln will dazzle the audience with her magic show. During this time, festival attendees can vote for their favorite carver piece.
