Kewanee Hog Days

Get ready to pig out because Kewanee Hog Days is bringing the bacon back to Illinois! Celebrating its agricultural roots as the Hog Capital of the World, this Labor Day weekend extravaganza promises four massive days of community-wide partying. Visitors will dive snout-first into the world’s largest outdoor pork barbecue, serving up over 26,000 mouth-watering pork chops and patties. Beyond the legendary grub, the festival packs the streets with thrilling carnival rides, a gigantic parade, mud volleyball tournaments, craft shows, and non-stop live entertainment across multiple stages. With this year’s Queen-inspired tagline, “We Will, We Will, Chop You!”, attendees can expect classic car displays, pony rides, and health and fitness runs to work off all that delicious BBQ. It is the ultimate family-friendly farewell to summer where everyone is invited to celebrate because pigs just wanna have fun.
