National Buffalo Wing Festival

New York

Surprisingly inspired by "Osmosis Jones", the "Super Bowl" of wing events is a weekend-long love letter to everyone's favorite bar food, with events including shloads of eating contests (from wings, to heaping 5lb plates of local comestibles), a costumed ".5K" Running of the Chickens, and a chance to scope upstate babes at the Miss Buffalo Wing Pageant, who definitely won't get tired of you calling her "saucy".
