Buffalo's most iconic festival! Try dozens of different wings from across the country, along with 70,000 of your most ardent fellow wing enthusiasts. Don your wing wear -- the wing hat is particularly appropriate -- and meet and greet folks from all over the place who come to Buffalo for this event every Labor Day.

The idea for the festival came from a movie called Osmosis Jones. Bill Murray starred as a compulsive eater with a goal of attending the Super Bowl of junk food, The National Buffalo Wing Festival. Ironically, there wasn't one. That is when native Buffalonian Drew Cerza, now affectionately known as the Wing King decided to make it happen back in 2002. This is a case of Real Life knocking off Hollywood!
