Hub City Hog Fest registration deadline is approaching fast.
We are quickly approaching Hub City Hog Fest, 2025 on April 4th and 5th!
On behalf of the Hub City Hog Fest and Mobile Meals of Spartanburg, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Hog Fest during the last several years. Because of your generosity, either in competing, volunteering or just helping spread the word, we have donated over $500,000 to Mobile Meals since the inception of the Hog Fest.
For the 2025 Hub City Hog Fest, the event will take place right downtown at the corner of Church and Main streets in Spartanburg, SC as it has since 2016. The city will close several streets around Morgan Square, and this event will take place in the very heart of Spartanburg once again. As we look forward to new and exciting times with features such as a Minor League baseball stadium, first-of-its-kind joint government complex, and many other state-of-the-art developments, Hub City Hog Fest is poised to remain a unique experience for the SCBA competition circuit.
We will kick things off on April 4, 2025, and will run as usual through April 5, 2025.
Overall cash prizes will be $2,000 for 1st place, $1,500 for 2nd place and $1,000 for 3rd place. There will be more cash prizes awarded for individual categories. More information on that and other important details can be found on our website: www.hubcityhogfest.com.
Of course, each team will have individual water hookups and electrical support.
We will again have two official categories: Boston butts and baby back ribs. However, we will also feature a chicken wing competition on Friday night, as well as a brisket competition for those who wish to compete.
We are so thrilled about all the support that the Hub City Hog Fest has gotten from folks like you, and we hope we can count on your team being there in April 2025 to help us kick off the Hog Fest once again.
As always, the event includes a BBQ competition, an awards ceremony for the winning Que, delicious food, beer and other drinks from local vendors, and great live music, both Friday and Saturday night.
Please find the official entry form for Hog Fest 2025 on the SCBA web site (scbarbeque.com). It is time to start registering your teams. The entry fee is $250 per team. Please note that if your team requires more electricity than 4 standard 20-amp plugs, there will be a $30 surcharge. There is a place on the application to indicate that you need additional electricity. If you do not indicate that you need additional electricity on your application, we cannot guarantee that it will be available to you. I've attached pictures of various plugs and outlets. If your plug fits these shapes, then you need additional electricity and should note that on your application.
Each team gets two free T-shirts from the event. Please note the sizes that you will need on your application. If you would like to purchase additional T-shirts, they are available for 10 dollars per shirt.
The competition will again be conducted in accordance with the SC BBQ Association Rules and Regulations, which are also attached. The meats (with the exception of Brisket) will be provided to each team and are included in the entry fee for the event. Your team can do any or all of the categories.
I hope that you and your team will consider being a part of this event again.
With warmest regards,
Brad Blackwell
