Lebowski Fest 2019: The Only Festival In The World Dedicated To The Big Lebowski

The Lebowski Fest is a crazy travelling festival dedicated to celebrating the Coen Brothers’ cult movie, The Big Lebowski. There is simply no other festival in the world like it, and it takes place in different cities around the United States. The two-day gathering features a Movie Party and a Bowling Party. During the movie party, fans, known as Achievers, rock out to bands and watch the film for the 352nd time (but who’s counting?). The bowling party, on the other hand, includes an insane costume contest, exciting trivia games, and unlimited bowling. The beverage of choice for the event is no other than a White Russian, of course; the Dude’s drink of choice made from coffee liqueur, vodka, and light cream.

The first-ever Festival was held in October 2002 at Louisville, Kentucky. Since then, it’s been held in more than 30 cities including New York, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and even London. If you’re lucky, catch The Dude himself when he makes appearances at the event, as well as other Hollywood bigwigs such as Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, and Julianne Moore among others. The same goes for music, and this year, Howell Dawdy, King Kong, Murder by Death, and live tributes to the movie soundtrack will be featured.

This festival was created especially for the fans, by the fans, and by the looks of it the Achievers only continue to grow in number, which means that this festival gets even crazier each year! There will be tons of awesome merch to take home to, so make your way to the festival, dude.
