Event Details

Only the most masterful chainsaw carvers can turn giant logs into beautiful works of art and we’re bringing them to Frederick to compete against each other! The carving competition will take place on Main Street in Downtown Frederick and there will be live music and food trucks, or Chuckwagons (food trucks)! Hour-long quick carves will be auctioned off on the spot on select days of the event.

Don't forget! This is a competition. Bring the whole family to Crist Park to see the completed wood carvings and vote for the "People's Choice" masterpiece carving (the big ones) while enjoying live music and fun kids activities!
