City of Kannapolis

Jiggy with the Piggy 2024 returns with the smells and tastes of barbeque and fun for the entire family. Make plans now to join us May 2 – May 5 in downtown Kannapolis.

Visit www.kannapolisnc.gov/jiggywiththepiggy for the exciting Jiggy 2024 schedule.

Once again, we will host over 50 barbeque competition teams. The BBQ teams are from across the U.S. and will compete for top bragging rights and prize money. This is one of the largest sanctioned events by the Kansas City Barbeque Society and this year our presenting sponsor is the Rowan CVB.

The festival, which has been named one of a Top 20 Event by the Southeast Tourism Society, will have more than 100 arts & crafts vendors, concerts, a 5K walk/run, fireworks and a People’s Choice pork tasting competition and an exciting kid’s zone.

The Kannapolis Public Safety Assistance Foundation is back with their amazing BBQ. We have also added more barbeque and food vendors so you can fill up on many varieties of festival food.

As always, this festival and concert is free to the public.

No pets please.
