The Michigan Chicken Wing Festival was inducted into the Super Bowl of Wing Festivals in 2015 as a catalyst to unite the community. This festival is not about how many wing vendors participate; it's more about the different flavors of wings you can buy at the festival. The festival provides a platform for food vendors to showcase their talent in vending and for merchandise vendors to display their best products. In addition, national and local sponsors can promote their company and product(s). 

The Michigan Chicken Wing Festival also includes a main stage featuring musical acts from all genres, live entertainment, cornhole, a kids zone with inflatables,  community empowerment vendors, a health and wellness pavilion, give-aways, a VIP beer, wine, and spirits tent, a chicken wing eating contest and a people's choice vendor contest.  This fun and exciting event has something for everyone.
