August 29,30 2026: Created in 2002 by Drew Cerza, now known as the “Wing King,” the National Buffalo Wing festival has since served 4.6 million wings to crowds of more than 800,000 and is recognized as one of the best in the country.
 

This “weekend of wings” is filled with food, fun, Buffalo-themed activities and, of course, a celebration of the Buffalo-style chicken wing! But the festival is more than Buffalo-wing eating contests – there is also musical and fun entertainment, festival food favorites, a Ninja Warrior Challenge filled with obstacles, cooking competitions, a pageant and more.

 
And with more than 100 flavors of wings to tantalize your taste buds, this festival is a chicken-wing lover’s dream!
