KING TURKEY DAY | WORTHINGTON, MN
SEPTEMBER 17-20, 2026
​On behalf of the 2025 Board of Directors:
​This weekend doesn't happen year after year without the tireless support of countless volunteers, local business, community members, and Paycheck Super Fans. We cannot thank everyone enough for all that you do.
We're already planning for 2026 and hope you'll be back to join us in all of the fun!
Where else can you see race teams herding their superstar "athletes" - wild racing turkeys - right down Main Street? Catch all the excitement during "The Great Gobbler Gallop," a highlight of Worthington, Minnesota’s one-of-a-kind King Turkey Day Festival!
