About Big Whopper Liar Day
National Big Whopper Liar Day is a fun observance holiday that even Pinocchio 'wood' appreciate!
Since 1988, on the third Saturday in September, people have gathered in New Harmony, Indiana to celebrate!
Each year, contestants take the stage in front of the crowd, and each contestant gets approximately 3-4 minutes to spin the most incredible yarn they can come up with. Judges award points for exaggeration, humor, stage presence and storytelling ability.
It is more about creating a tall tale to entertain the audience rather than being mendacious.
