Cold beer, fresh wings and live music. Milwaukee WingFest always makes for a tasty and fun-filled day, but this year’s event, dubbed the “Halloween Edition,” will be kicking the fun up a notch as everyone is encouraged to dress in costume.
Who will be supplying the wings? The list of vendors announced so far includes: Billy Ho’s Pub & Eatery, Brass Monkey, Brunch., The Explorium Brewpub, The Garage, Jack’s American Pub, Jonny Hammers, The Loaded Slate, Lucky Joe’s, Milwaukee Brat House, The Tap Room, Tomken’s, Wauwatiki Bar & Grill and WingMan’s.
Enjoy performances by Grey:Mercy and Jake Williams while you wash down your chicken with cold beer.

The first person to finish ten medium-hot wings will win $200; the second-place winner will receive $100 and the third-place winner gets a $25 gift card.
