Get The Details!
Troy Pig Out
Date: July 17 -18, 2010
Time: Sat: 11 am - 10 pm, Sun: 11am - 4 pm
Location: Riverfront Park, Downtown Troy NY
Cost: FREE Admission, $1 per sample
Can you believe that the Troy Pig Out will be celebrating the 3rd birthday this year? Join us in Riverfront Park for two jammed packed days full of music, chef demonstrations, children's activities, and what else? Great BBQ of course!
Over 30 teams, all sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society will compete for 'Victor' or life size golden pig, and over $5,000 in prizes. Come out and see how the pros do it, ask them questions, and watch as they prepare their entries.
Hungry? Good. The Pig Out features BBQ vendors from across the country, smoking and grilling ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, you name it (and we hear Dinosaur Barbeque will be there!).
Saturday kicks off at 11:00am with live blue grass, Irish and blues all day long, headlined by our favorite, Mr. Ernie Williams, followed by a fireworks display over the river. Don't miss the top chefs giving demonstrations throughout the day in our cook's tent. Always a favorite is the Dinosaur Barbeque People's Choice Rib Competition - this years partner charity is the Susan G Komen Foundation.
On Sunday, the focus turns to the New York State Championship. Watch as the pros compete for the Grand Championship, enjoy more great food, and live music again throughout the day. See www.troypigout.com for full festival details.
