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 place at Julian B Lane Riverfront Park on October 21 from 1pm-10pm. A slew of fantastic bands will join a medley of chefs for a 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.

This year, Brad Paisley, Shovels & Rope, The Head and The Heart, Amanda Shires, and Riley Green will all perform in the heart of Tampa. Tickets are available now and can be purchased on Tampa Pig Jig’s website.

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.
