Our 100% volunteer team will be working hard this week producing one of the most exciting family friendly events to honor our local heroes. Please read the FAQ, event page and presale page before reaching out. We have yet to find the lovely human being that would volunteer to answer phones, emails, texts, facebook and website inquiries. If that is you, you can skip the FAQ and reach out immediately. Where have you been the last 15 years lol.
Going forward anyone that asks How much is it to get in, Where or when is WingFest or anything else found in the FAQ must do burpies in the chicken suit on the main stage.
On a serious note. We can't wait to see you all again this year!
At Midwest WingFest, our vision is to build a vibrant community where combat-wounded soldiers, families of fallen heroes, and first responders are celebrated and supported. Through our annual food and music festival, we aim to inspire unity, patriotism, and profound gratitude, ensuring that the extraordinary sacrifices of our military and first responders are honored and cherished. We are dedicated to using the net proceeds from our festival to fuel hope, healing, and happiness, providing essential resources and support to our local heroes as they work towards recovery and renewal. By bringing together over 25,000 attendees each Labor Day weekend for a celebration of music, wings, and community spirit, we create a powerful tribute that fosters enduring respect and appreciation for those who serve.
We hope you enjoy what we believe is the best place to eat chicken wings.
Our commitment is to provide a safe, family-friendly atmosphere with plenty of food including some of the best chicken wings, music, and activities to keep you and your kiddos having a blast all weekend long. We will honor our soldiers and first responders in every way we can and will use net proceeds with integrity to support our heroes each year. Through our festival, we aim to create a joyful and patriotic environment that celebrates the sacrifices and dedication of our military and first responders, ensuring that their contributions are recognized and valued by our community.
At Midwest WingFest, we're not just about putting on a great show. We're also committed to making a positive impact with our soldiers and first responders, in our community and beyond. That's why we partner with local organizations to produce the event such as businesses, restaurants, and charitable organizations.
