When America celebrates, it goes all out! The wonderfully weird patchwork that is America is never more proudly displayed than during one of the hundreds of unique local festivals celebrated annually across the USA. From backyard events to Main Street parades, Americans will celebrate just about everything!

“America: Wild and Wacky” captures the homegrown spirit of our country’s festivals in all their glory. After all, what could be more American than outhouse races, chocolate haute couture fashion or art car parades? See the vibrant characters that make up the core of our country, and the creative imaginations that dreamt up the “You Kill It, We’ll Grill It: Road Kill Cook Off”. If that’s not your cup of tea, watch contestants compete to hurl pumpkins hundreds of feet in the air at the Punkin’ Chunkin’ festival in Delaware.

So come home to “America: Wild and Wacky” with Smithsonian Networks and celebrate our nation- the home of the crazy, the strange and the proud. It’s a party you won’t want to miss!
