This is a nonprofit event with proceeds raised donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Memphis. To date this event has generated more than $300,000 in financial support for this home away from home as their children undergo treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Each ticket gets the holder into the festival to enjoy live bands, a parade, contests, Kid Zone, and other festivities. In order to get wing samples from the 80+ competing teams, we request a small donation to go to the Ronald McDonald House at each tent.
