Amsterdam’s 3rd Annual WingFest Sponsored by Rockton House

Amsterdam, NY: The City of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam Tourism, Marketing & Recreation Department will present the 3rd Annual WingFest Sponsored by Rockton House on Saturday, April 22nd from 1-6pm. 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.

Mayor Cinquanti stated “I can’t think of a more helpful and enjoyable way for Amsterdam residents to spend their Saturday. First, they get to work up an appetite in the morning, by participating in one of our City’s Spring Clean-up projects and then in the afternoon they get to fill themselves up with delicious chicken wings served by our amazing group of locally owned restaurants. Our city wins, our local restaurants win and best of all we get to spend the day with family and friends!”

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.
