A battle between two rivals, putting everything on the line. The Turkey Bowl is more than just a game-it’s a clash of two giants giving their blood, sweat, and tears.
As residents of New Canaan and Darien put their turkeys in the ovens, the high school football players of both towns prepare to suit up. They’re playing for more than themselves-they are playing for bragging rights, the generations before them and, above all else, there hometowns. Beyond being an amazing spectacle for the fans, the Turkey Bowl is a special event because of its ability to unite and connect people around the sport of football.
The Turkey Bowl has been a monumental event within the community since 1928, when the rivalry’s annual football game began. The teams have competed for the prestigious victory for 94 years, with New Canaan leading Darien all-time 55-38-2. As the teams are set to square off once more, New Canaan is playing to extend the school’s Turkey Bowl win streak to six. Just as the members of the community have always done, the players must compete with something bigger than themselves in mind.
