We certainly want you to be our guest at this year’s event at Harmon Field in Tryon, North Carolina. Please let us know if you are coming and need credentials. Admission and great food are complimentary, of course.

We are proud to be among the first Barbecue Festivals in the country to “Go Green.” Over the past several years we have reduced our environmental footprint by more than 75 as far as the Festival and its guests were concerned. Now we’re concentrating on getting the cook teams in Hog Heaven more involved with the effort. Their waste is heavy and would be an especially big environmental boost if we could get ALL their food waste into the compost heap instead of in the landfill! We’ll keep you posted!
