This Sunday, October 4th, the Chattanooga Market promises to be a little spicy, a little messy, but a whole lot of fun.
It’s the Scenic City Wings competition featuring six local eateries who’ll be showing off their cooking talents, two wings at a time.
A $20 ticket gets folks two wings from each of six restaurants. Patrons can sample the unique tastes of the area’s best wings in this blazing annual event and cast their vote for the Scenic City's Best Wings of 2026.
A panel of judges will determine their favorite as well. Two trophies will be awarded by the end of the day, one for Peoples’ Choice and one for Judges’ Choice
New this year, the heat gets turned up even more with In the Hot Seat— a live, hot-wing interview series featuring two local celebrities: Gold Olympian Olivia Reeves and local artist Genesis the Greykid.
Watch as these brave celebrities answer questions while taking on progressively spicier wings. It’s equal parts hilarious, uncomfortable, and can’t-miss entertainment.
