Our Story
About Wing Fest
The Lowcountry's premier chicken wing competition and festival — born in Charleston, built for the community.
How It Started
A Passion for Wings
The Charleston Wing Fest was born out of a simple idea: bring together the best wings in the Lowcountry and let the people decide who reigns supreme. What started as a small boutique event has grown into one of Charleston's most anticipated annual festivals.
Every year we bring together the best food trucks, restaurants, and hot sauce makers from across the region to compete for the title of Charleston's Best Wing — and give thousands of wing lovers a day they'll never forget.

The Experience
More Than Just Wings
The Wing Fest is a full day of food, fun, and community. Beyond the wing competition, enjoy musical vibes, the legendary Scoville Showdown, Bobbin' 4 Veggies for the kids, local vendors, cold drinks, and more.
Held at the beautiful Hanahan Amphitheater from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, the event is a celebration of everything that makes Charleston great — good food, good people, and good times.
