ABOUT THE BIG KAHUNA LABOR DAY FESTIVAL
In 2011, Matt Beeler traveled to Memphis to be a part of the local Hot Wing Festival. It was there that he discovered something that was missing from his hometown on the other side of the state. With all the wing lovers in the East Tennessee area why wasn't there a festival to celebrate Wings!
Upon returning to Knoxville, he began the process of building a wing festival with the intent to donate 100% of the proceeds local charities, asking the community for its support. That was over 13 years ago ... over thirteen years filled with 80,000 people, 1.4 million wings weighing more than 116 tons, and over $685,000 in charitable contributions!
