Mayor Daley's Wrestling Festival
World Sport Chicago, the Chicago Wrestling Coaches Association and the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation are excited to announce the First Annual Mayor Daley’s Wrestling Festival at Navy Pier. Reminiscent of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley’s Wrestling Club, we are excited to help bring back the competitive spirit of wrestling to the city.
On Saturday, June 5th 2010, we are inviting wrestling competitors of all ages to showcase their skills in a fun filled tournament. Olympians, area college and university athletes and former members of Mayor Daley’s Wrestling Club will also be in attendance performing demonstrations and signing autographs. With several matches occurring simultaneously throughout the day, there will never be a dull moment.
Our focus is to connect youth, teens, and adults to the sport of wrestling in a fun and competitive environment. Come experience the excitement Chicago wrestling has to offer.
Chicago wrestling glory days are back at Navy Pier!
