The Town of Cutler Bay’s seventh annual “Wings Over the Bay” Chicken Wing Cook-Off event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 18, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Cutler Ridge Park.
The popular family friendly event will be back with all the usual elements that have made it one of the town’s most popular events, but with a new twist this year, according to Maria Herrera‑Mendoza, Events & Programs manager for the Town of Cutler Bay’s Department of Parks & Recreation, who is organizing the cook-off.
“Something new we are doing is we are moving the event time to 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.,” Herrera‑Mendoza said. “Prior to this year, we always held the event from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., but last year we noticed that it was extremely hot, so we changed the hours to accommodate the warmer weather in May.”
Besides the cooking competition, the free event will include live performance by country music artist Ricky Valido, food trucks, a wing-eating competition, kids’ activities, and free chicken wings while supplies last.
“We are excited to host another family friendly event,” Herrera‑Mendoza said. “We are still looking for more wing cook-off contestants.”
Those who participate in the cook-off will be eligible to receive prizes and trophies in three categories: Buffalo, Special Grill and Parmesan Garlic. Prizes also will be awarded for “People’s Choice” and “Best Decorated Booth.”
