Chainsaws and Chuckwagons 2026

2026 marks the 14th year of our annual Chainsaws & Chuckwagons event! 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 July 15-18, 2026 with family entertainment and food trucks (Chuckwagons)! Hour-long quick carves will be auctioned off on the spot on select days of the event.
