Slingin’ Wings Festival 2018

Slingin’ Wings Festival is back for another year of our seriously saucy wing and beer festival! Join us on Saturday, May 12th, for Slingin’ Wings Festival where restaurants from all over the ATL will be slingin’ chicken wings for your tasting pleasure! Some of these restaurants include everyone from HOBNOB, Wing Factory, and Hudson Grill to Gilly’s and Smoke Ring. In addition to a full day of good eats, we’ve got an awesome lineup of frosty brews, live local music, plus wing eating contests and all your favorite tailgate games. Tickets are $15 for General Admission in advance and $20 at the door, while the Wing Lover’s Ticket is $35 in advance. The GA ticket includes entry to the festival, access to food, live music, and bars, as well as a People’s Choice voter’s ballot ad (4) wing vouchers. Wing Lover’s Ticket includes everything from the GA ticket plus (11) more wing vouchers and a 16oz souvenir tumbler. Looking for more than a taste? Not to worry! Each restaurant will be selling additional wings (~$1/wing), plus we’ll have a variety of local Atlanta restaurants serving up their full menus (and full-sized portions) available to purchase.
