National Buffalo Wing Festival to move back to Sahlen Field next year

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- The National Buffalo Wing Festival is headed back to downtown Buffalo at Sahlen Field.

The move comes after four years of holding the event at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.

"Wing King" Drew Cerza said the reason they moved in the first place was because the Toronto Blue Jays had taken over the ballpark, playing there during the pandemic as a result of restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19.

Wing Fest at Sahlen Field is set for Labor Day weekend on Aug. 30 and 31 of next year.
