GLENS FALLS - After canceling last year’s event due to the ongoing pandemic, the Glens Falls Collaborative returns to hosting its annual Wing Fest event on Saturday, April 30.
The event is a competition between restaurants for the best wings. Tasting is from noon to 3 p.m. and an awards ceremony at the bandstand in City Park at 3:30 p.m. will close out the event, with multiple categories of winners. There will also be live music in Downtown Glens Falls.
An opening ceremony will take place at 11:30 a.m. at the City Park Bandstand. Tasting Tickets are $1 each, and the number of tickets to taste varies by restaurant. Participating Downtown restaurants will serve from their storefronts, and restaurants from outside the city will serve from locations along Glen, Ridge, Bay and Maple Streets.
New this year will be the inaugural Michael DuBray Inferno Wing Eating Competition, to take place at 2 p.m. on Glen Street. Michael DuBray, also known as DeeJay DuBray, died in January. He helped found the event and served as its chair and champion for many years. Competitors will pay a registration fee of $25 that will go into a Michael DuBray Scholarship Fund. The winner will receive a trophy and bragging rights. Register at www.glensfallscollaborative.com
