Amsterdam’s WingFest Sponsored by Rockton House

Amsterdam, NY: The City of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam Tourism, Marketing & Recreation Department will present the 5th Annual WingFest Sponsored by Rockton House on Saturday, April 19th from 1-6pm.

Mayor Michael Cinquanti “It’s a hometown double header! Two great Amsterdam events on the same day. In the first one you work side by side with friends and neighbors to help your city look better. In the second one you party with those friends and neighbors and get to enjoy some of the best wings on the planet, prepared by outstanding family-owned Amsterdam eateries! A great day for a great city!”

Restaurants and bars throughout the city will provide over thirty different types of chicken wings for attendees to try.  Food and drink specials, live music, giveaways, contests, and more will take place throughout the day.

Jim Stevens, Owner of the Rockton House, and Sponsor stated “It’s nice to see citizens and fellow businesses coming together to support each other. WingFest is more than a culinary event, it’s a way to showcase the love Amsterdam has.”

Participants will pay $1 for a wing sample at each location and vote at the end for their favorite wings. Winners will receive a Trophy for the Best Wing in the City and Hottest Wing in the City. There will be a full Wing Guide and Map available online, as well as at any participating location, each containing a list of all the wings, entertainment, and specials of participating locations.
