General Information
KCBS is “the largest international organization of barbeque enthusiasts” and has sanctioned the Lakeland Pigfest since its first contest in 1997. Professional teams travel from all over the U.S. to compete in four categories: Ribs, Chicken, Pork and Brisket. They come for camaraderie and the Florida sunshine (what could be better than Florida in January!) . Some of them are even interested in the prize money. Over 200 teams from 17 states have competed in Lakeland since 1997. Many return year after year.
The 25th Annual Lakeland Pig Fest is being held on Friday, January 29th and Saturday, January 30th, 2021.
