Here are a few events your tastebuds will appreciate you for visiting: 

Manchester Chicken Broil 

The Manchester Chicken Broil is the epitome of savory summer food! 

Every year they broil over 15,000 pounds of chicken, and typically churn out 10,000 chicken dinners in 
four hours! (Don’t even get us started on the 256 pounds of butter). 

Each meal comes with ½ a chicken, a dinner roll with butter, freshly made German coleslaw with their secret local recipe, radishes, chips and your choice of a beverage. Snag this sweet deal for $15 at the gate, or $13 if you purchase it in advance.

This year for their 71st celebration, they’re offering on-site dining, drive-thru meal pickup, on-site walkup for meal purchases and live music. Proceeds for this event go to a variety of causes in the Manchester area so it’s a great cause to support. 

Dexter Summer Festival (AKA: Dexter Daze)

This annual festival has occurred over the past 54 years, and is the celebration of the summer in Dexter! 

People gather in the charming downtown area and enjoy music on the pavilion, delicious snacks food trucks, children’s entertainment, artist booths and a fireworks show at night to top it all off. 

This year, Dexter’s Chamber of Commerce is taking over hosting the event, and is changing it’s name from Dexter Daze to Dexter Summer Festival so make sure you don’t miss it!
