Cooking demonstrations by MasterChef Junior winner Bryson McGlynn and noted Alabama chef Ricky Albright highlight the schedule for the third annual Wetumpka Wildlife Arts Festival.

The festival, which is free and open to the public, begins Saturday, Oct. 19, at 9:45 a.m. and runs through 4 p.m., on the banks of the Coosa River in downtown Wetumpka. It is presented by the Kelly Fitzpatrick Center for the Arts, known to locals as “The Kelly.”

McGlynn, a 12-year-old from Opelika known as Cheese Curd, was crowned MasterChef Junior 2024 on the American TV cooking series broadcast by Fox. Albright, a Troy resident, has developed a national following through his Iron Fire Cooking demonstrations on social media. Their cooking demonstrations are scheduled for 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and the duo’s dishes will be available to sample.
