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!

Chainsaws and Chuckwagons draws crowds into Downtown Frederick throughout the entire competition as the carvers turn giant logs into wonderful pieces of art! Since Chainsaw Carving Competitions are very rare in this area, it attracts people from all over the region to check out the carvings! In addition to being a fun event, the Town also benefits from the Chainsaws and Chuckwagons event by being able to keep the large carvings for added artwork around Town. Supporting Chainsaws and Chuckwagons allows the event to continue to flourish and helps provide artwork that stays within the town for years to come!
