The Carolina Pig Jig is a charity BBQ cook-off with 25 teams competing to smoke the tastiest, award-winning pork barbecue and chicken. Even better, the event is open to the public to sample all-you-can-eat BBQ, sides, and more as well as cast a vote for your favorite team! The best part is this is a charity event – All participants have volunteered their time to the event and ALL proceeds go to charity. Tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased in advance through participating lodges, at Carolinapigjig.com, and at the gate the day of the event.

CPJ is held in conjunction with the “Got to Be NC” Festival at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Admission to “Got to Be NC” is Free and the Pig Jig is in the back of the event beside the Expo Center.
