Winnipeg is kicking off the 6th year of Fried Chicken Fest and many local restaurants are participating.

The Festival kicked off on Wednesday and runs until next Saturday. Participating restaurants in the festival will be offering a unique fried chicken dish for the week.

She says all the stakeholders and all the people who are pulling for the restaurants are from Manitoba.
