OUR EVENT PARTNERS

This year’s Wingfest proceeds benefit South-Western Career Academy, Ghosts of War America, and GiGi’s.



In 2024, American Nitrile donated $5000 to the Southwest Career Academy, who provided volunteers for the event.



Join us for a day of fun, music, good food and competition –
where we put our local teams to the test.
Smokin’ Hot Wing & Music Fest is a chance to come together and celebrate our great community and American Nitrile – bringing manufacturing back to the USA, all while supporting great causes – financial support for students in the manufacturing, welding, and hospitality programs at South-Western Career Academy and Ghosts of War America – providing needed assistance to help get veterans off the streets and get them the care they deserve.
At this family-friendly event, you’ll have a blast listening to great music as you enjoy scrumptious wings (place your vote for best tasting wings) while you enjoy an ice-cold beer or some great treats from the food trucks! You’ll laugh watching contestants bob for wings as your friends and family are having fun playing cornhole.
