Season 18 | 2023 ACO World Championships of Cornhole Coming to Owensboro KY

Owensboro KY will host the American Cornhole Organization, Season 18 ACO World Championships of Cornhole  next summer. The World Championships include cornhole players from almost all 50 States. Owensboro local officials say the event will have a seven-figure economic impact.

American Cornhole estimates up to 800 athletes ranging in ages from 12 to 80 will present themselves in Owensboro to compete for the title of best cornhole player in the United States.

"The economic impact of this event is well north of a million dollars. It's going to up our hotels, put money in our restaurants and since the tournament is streamed will serve as great exposure for our city," said Mark Calitri, Visit Owensboro President & CEO.

Frank Geers, ACO President, said Owensboro has become like a second home for their organization.

"It's welcoming, easy to work with, and located right in the middle of the United States, making it the perfect place to hold ACO World Championships 2023," said Geers.

The ACO World Cornhole Championships will take place July 25-29, 2023, at the Owensboro Convention Center. Admission is FREE for spectators.

The Owensboro Convention Center will also host an ACO Major on January 5-6, 2023.

"With the Worlds event coming later in the year, we expect the event in January to be a large event," said Jeff Esposito, Owensboro Convention Center General Manager. "These events are perfect examples that our venue is truly a mullti-use facility."
