I can almost smell the pork fat sizzling over coals….on March 24th, a festival of pork will invade City Park.  Yes, it’s time for Hogs for the Cause, the swine cookoff to benefit pediatric brain cancer patients.

Tickets are $10 in advance ($20 at the gate), which is a bargain for daylong music, pork, and philanthropy.  If you’re feeling generous (or especially hungry), buy a Market Hog ($100) or Boss Hog ($250) pass and enjoy unlimited food and beer.  (Buy tickets here.)

Gates open at 10:30, music starts at 11, and the party goes on until Trombone Shorty closes it down.
