What’s Happening In Roanoke: Roanoke Wing Fest

Roanoke Wing Fest

Do you love wings? Yes? Prove it by going to Roanoke Wing Fest 2018 at Dr. Pepper Park at the Bridges on Aug. 25. The festival runs from noon to 7 p.m., and general admission tickets are just $5 in advance. You can upgrade to a VIP skybox ticket for $15 or a VIP tent ticket for $20. This is the biggest single-day food festival in Roanoke and will include wing vendors, live music, a cornhole tournament, and other fun activities. Get the details so you’ll be ready to party with your hands full of wings at this one-of-a-kind festival.

Getting There

Thousands upon thousands of people attend the Roanoke Wing Fest every year, and this is expected to be the biggest one yet. Because it’s so busy, it’s important that you park in the right place. Park at the Carilion Riverwalk Garage or the Elmwood Park Garage. Yes, that’s a bit of a way from the park, but there is a free Liberty Tax shuttle that runs from both of these garages. Just hop on the shuttle after you park your car, and it’ll take you right to the festival. Then you can load up on wings.

Bring Cash

Roanoke Wing Fest is a cash-only event. While there will be ATMs at the event, it’s much easier to stop by before you get there. Bring plenty of cash so you can get all the food and drinks you want. Remember that the restaurants will be competing for the best wings, so you’ll want to try them all. Bring your cash, try all the wings, and cast your vote for the best.

Get There Early

The organizers have a limited supply of Welcome Wings. You’ll get your own Welcome Wing if you get there while there are still some left. You don’t have to pay for this welcome gift, so get there early and claim yours.

Don’t Forget a Chair

You can bring your own chair to wing fest, but if you don’t feel like doing that, you can rent one for $5. You will definitely want to have a place to sit so you can relax after chowing down on all those wings, so this is a must.

You’ll also want to relax when the festival is over, and that’s not a problem when you have a vehicle from Berglund Automotive in Roanoke, Virginia. Imagine sliding behind the wheel of your new vehicle after the festival is over. You will love your drive home just as much as you enjoy the festival. With that in mind, stop by today so you can get your new ride in time for the festival.
