Plant City Pig Jam

Plant City Pig Jam is a two-day barbecue festival held each November, now in its 23rd year in 2026. At its center is a Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctioned contest with professional and amateur teams competing in ribs, pork, brisket and chicken, and visitors can buy food from the teams with the festival's Pig Bucks. There is also live music, vendors and a kids' zone, with buying from teams helping fund local high school senior scholarships.
