Who doesn’t love a good bbq? The Tampa Pig Jig is the ultimate fall food festival in the entire Tampa Bay region. The event takes places at Julian B Lane Riverfront Park on October 22 at 1pm. A slew of fantastic bands will join a medley of chefs for day dedicated to a good cause. The Tampa Pig Jig was founded by Old Florida Federation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by several Tampa area friends.
Each Fall, the Tampa Pig Jig brings incredible live music, delicious food, ice-cold beer, and a fierce corporate barbecue competition to downtown Tampa’s waterfront. But it’s more than just a good time, the Tampa Pig Jig is a philanthropic event that raises money for NephCure Kidney International, the only nonprofit organization committed to supporting research, improving treatment, and finding a cure for the debilitating kidney disease, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Nephrotic Syndrome.
The current music lineup includes: X Ambassadors, Lady A, Kip Moore, and Bahamas. Tickets are available now and can be purchased on Tampa Pig Jig’s website. There’s a new pass available this year, too, called The Watering Hole Pass.
