Redneck Festival Coming To Aitkin In May

You might be a redneck if you plan on going to the first-ever Minnesota Redneck Festival this spring.

The three-day fest will be held in Aitkin May 20-22.

Events include lawnmower racing, an armpit serenade, bowling with tires and trash cans, toilet seat horseshoes and Miss and Mr. ‘Merica contests.

Music will be provided by a female musical duo, The French Hillbillies, and a jug band. There will be a beer tent and a road-kill buffet in the historic Butler Building Opera House.

Aitkin was recently named the number one redneck city in Minnesota by RoadSnacks.
