Longest-running pillow fight contest

The World Pillow Fighting Championships in Kenwood, California, USA is the longest running annual competition of its kind, with its 40th tournament held on 4th July 2006. Each year, approximately 100 pillow fighters battle it out with wet, muddy pillows whilst sitting astride a steel pole placed over a mud-filled creek!

In 2007 it was announced that the Kenwood World Pillow Fighting Championships were being discontinued. However, the event was later revived and held subsequently at different locations. As of September 2017, according to the main event website at http://worldpillowfightchampionships.com/: "The next Pillow Fight events include an event in Scottsdale, Arizona and a revival event in Sonoma County in 2018."
