The event is set for June 24th – 26th.

While you may want to chuckle over the term cornhole, it is a growing sport and this summer there is a major competition coming to Angel of the Winds Arena in downtown Everett, Washington.

The event will fill hotel rooms and restaurants, bring network TV coverage and provide a boost to the city. Here’s more from Tammy Dunn with the Snohomish County Sports Commission.
 

The American Cornhole League (ACL) is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Snohomish County Sports Commission to bring one of the largest ACL events of the season to the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, WA, June 24-26, 2022. The event will feature two different tournaments from two different series of ACL events. It will be the Bacardi Spiced ACL Open #15 and the ACL Pro Shootout #4.

The Bacardi Spiced ACL Open #15 event will be open to the general public, and feature Singles and Doubles tournaments for all ages and skill levels to compete.
