Festival goers will enjoy watching the popular wing-eating contest to our kid zone with inflatable amusement rides or simply do some shopping in the local arts & crafts area.
For the adults we will have cold beverages to wash down those tasty wings plus a large arts and crafts area for those looking for some unique hand crafted items. For the kids we have jumpies, rides, face painting, entertainment and don't forget to drop by the Canton-Woodstock-Cumming Macaroni Kid table for fun FREE activities.

As the third largest chicken wing festival in the country with over 22,000 expected in attendance this year, festival goers can munch on tasty chicken wings from local wing experts like Wing Zone and Wing Stop while washing them down with a cold beverage. All the participating wing vendors will be vying for plaques and medals for the best wings in a competition judged by local celebrities and the festival attendees.
