Are you planning on attending the annual Schenectady Wing Walk? We've rounded up everything you need to know about this popular event!
ABOUT THE EVENT
The 8th Annual Downtown Schenectady Wing Walk is a delicious opportunity to taste the best wings in town! Participating local restaurants will each offer their own unique flavor of chicken wings for you to sample. After you've tried them all, you can vote for your favorite, and one restaurant will be crowned the winner!
HOW THE EVENT WORKS
On the day of the event, head to Proctors box office anytime after 10am to exchange your ticket receipt for your map/ballot. The event officially kicks off at 12pm! Stroll around to the various restaurants and sample one wing per location, making sure to get your map/ballot stamped by each restaurant. You can start your walk at ANY participating location. Once you sample at least half of the wings, mark your map/ballot with your favorite restaurant and drop it at one of several drop-box locations around downtown!
