2023 BIG KAHUNA WING FESTIVAL

Start: Sunday, September 3, 2023 2:00PM
End: Sunday, September 3, 2023 9:00PM

This year, the 10th annual Big Kahuna Wing Festival celebrates the creation of the "Buffalo Wing," which has become a national food icon. Invented in 1964 at the world famous Anchor Bar by Teresa Bellisimo, the popularity of the chicken wing has made it America's #1 appetizer. Last year alone over 20 billion wings were consumed by Americans, 1.25 billion on Super Bowl weekend alone. The Big Kahuna Wing Festival has become one of the best culinary events in the region. Last year the festival attendees enjoyed over 100 different sauces from 25 different teams representing restaurants, cooking teams, businesses, and the University of Tennessee Culinary Institute. Attendees and visitors come from all over the region. All for the love of the "Buffalo Wing" and to raise money for charity.
