Get ready, wing lovers!

The original Famous WingFest is back for its 18th year, landing at the Majed Neishwat Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Just one week before the Super Bowl, this is the perfect chance to get “Wingspiration” for your own game-day recipe!

This year’s WingFest is set to be bigger and bolder than ever, with an expanded lineup of local restaurants, food trucks, and caterers serving up a wide variety of flavors.

As you indulge in all the spicy, sweet, and savory wings you can handle, don’t forget to vote for your favorite as they compete to be crowned “King of the Wings.”

But WingFest isn’t just about the food—it’s an all-around good time, featuring live bands, games, prizes, and plenty of room on the dance floor.

The WING GIRLS will be on hand to keep the party going, adding to the high-energy vibe of the night.
