A chicken nugget festival is happening this summer

Ahhh chicken nuggets, one of our favorite foods. Don't get us wrong, pizza is still the key to our pop-punk hearts. But can you blame us for loving these crispy bite-size delicacies?

Well, it looks like we're not the only ones totally obsessed. In a report by Metro, it looks like chicken nuggets will be getting the spotlight it deserves: In the form of two summer festivals. Yeah, you read that right!

According to the news source, the first of the two festivals will be taking place Aug. 11 in London and Sept. 22 in Manchester. As if that wasn't already enough, Metro also reported that there are more rumored dates to come… And we wouldn't mind a U.S. date, just saying. 

Hosted by We Love Food, the festival will celebrate the delicious, yet questionable, piece of meat in a variety of ways. Not only will there be the biggest variety of chicken nuggets at the festival, there will also be a live DJ to dance off the unhealthy amount of chicken nuggets that you'll for sure be eating.

Oh, and did we mention that there is going to be a chicken nugget eating competition, because there is. We're sure you might be asking yourself what you could possibly win, besides a major stomach ache, and we're pretty sure it's the highest honor you could be crowned: for an entire day the winners will be known as the “Nugget King” and the “Nugget Queen,” what more could you possibly ask for?!

Tickets aren't officially on sale yet, but you might want to keep your eyes on the event's Facebook page or their website

With 1.8k people interested in going and more than 200 people already signed up to go, we're pretty sure this is going to be an event that sells out pretty quickly. What can we say, people really like their nuggets. 

While details are still a bit fuzzy, we do know one thing that is for sure: We've got a catch a plane to get to this festival. It might be difficult to fit into our growing schedule, but #worthit.
