Atlanta Wing Fest promises an evening of craveable wings & things, desserts, bottomless beverages, music by DJ Tron, cooking and mixology demonstrations, and more. Chefs will provide grilled, fried and smoked wings with many unique flavors — tangy barbecue to spicy Sriracha, zesty lemon pepper to sweet and savory teriyaki.
