This festival was formerly know as The Pig Gig. After the previous promoter retired 11 years ago we decided to bring it back in 2022.
We are bringing the 5K run/ walk back! Last year we had a great turn out for our 2nd year of bringing back the race after several people asking. Race participants will receive a day pass to enjoy the festival for the entire day (only valid Sunday July 27, 2025).
Entry to the race you will get a t shirt & a day pass to the festival the day of the event, which there will be a concert that evening and local bands in the beverage tent.
Medals will be given out to the top 2 in each age division for runners & top 2 overall in walkers.
