Buffalo Wing Festival September 2-3 | Dunn Tire Park 275 Washington Street, Buffalo | 565-4141 The idea for the Buffalo Wing Festival came from a movie called Osmosis Jones. Bill Murray starred as a compulsive eater with a goal of attending the Super Bowl of junk food, The National Buffalo Wing Festival. Ironically, there wasn’t one. That is when native Buffalonian Drew Cerza, now affectionately known as the "Wing King," decided to make it happen back in 2002. Join the fun, food, and the charitable cause.
