Once you’ve entered the festival, the fun begins! Attendees can indulge in a variety of wings and beverages sold separately. Sample wings from the area's top restaurants and cast your vote for the People's Choice Award. The day is packed with live music, a kid-friendly zone featuring activities and games, and a festive atmosphere that celebrates the community's culinary talents.
You can expect between 20 and 25 restaurants and organizations to participate in this annual competition. Recent past winners include One Hot Mama’s and CocoNutz Sports Bar.
