3rd Annual Best of the West Wing Fest

Presented by Sophisticated Events at Western Museum of Mining and Industry

What's that saying? "Third time's a charm". Why is that?

It's likely an ancient saying, since things that come in sets of three have often been associated with good luck.

Let us officially welcome you to the Gazette's Best of the Springs "Best Local Festival" nominee, the 3rd annual, Best of the West Wing Fest and find out who's got the best chicken wings in the West!

What’s the best chicken wing in town? That’s the question we know many of you out there have.

Reading this question in a local Colorado Springs Facebook group is what sprung to life the idea of the Best of the West Wing Fest.

After reading the question, the debate promptly began, with people from all over Colorado Springs tagging their favorite chicken wing restaurants in town.

Best of the West Wing Fest is meant to be a fun, community building festival with something for everyone, ending the summer season with your last chance for some HEAT, where the community (not a panel of judges) gets to crown the best chicken wing in Colorado Springs.

MORE restaurants competing for the title of the best chicken wing in Colorado Springs.

MORE local musicians, eating competitions, and entertainment scheduled throughout the day.

Participating restaurants will also have additional menu items available for purchase.
