Buffalo Wing Fest 2020 Becomes ‘America’s Greatest Chicken Wing Party’

One of Buffalo's staple summer events, locally, is safely taking a backset to COVID-19 this year but has come up with a creative way to continue. Not only have they come up with a way to keep the festivities going, but there are also perks this year for participants. Get ready for The National Buffalo Wing Festival, better known as the 'Buffalo Wing Fest', reimagined as ''America's Greatest Chicken Wing Party'.  By supporting' 'America's Greatest Chicken Wing Party', you're also supporting your Local Food Banks

According to WGRZ News, Drew Cerza, the founder of the Buffalo Wing Fest said that holding the event at Sahlen Field would be socially irresponsible in light of COVID-19 so they came up with an alternative that would not only still include Buffalo, but everyone in the entire Nation.

Drew Cerza, the founder of the Buffalo Wing Fest, added this according to the WGRZ News report:

"This is an unprecedented reimagining of an American food festival. No other such event has ever attempted something like this before.  For years, I’ve heard from Wingfest attendees from across the United States who wanted us to bring a celebration of wings to their hometown. This year, we’re doing just that – all while raising money for a great cause.”
