The 11th Annual Pigtown Festival in Historic Pigtown--BBQ, Beer, Music & Pig Racing!

What's Been Missing From the "Running of the Pigs"? We BET We Know!

Here in Pigtown, we love our pig races just as much as other Baltimoreans love the ponies! So, this year, we decided to make the annual "Running of the Pigs" a little more engaging!

SQUEAKNESS, an homage to Baltimore's favorite horse racing event, will consist of 6 shows throughout the day--for a total of 18 races ... and just as many chances to win fabulous prizes from local businesses!

Set up on either side of the track will be our SQUEAKNESS betting boothes! That's right. This year we're introducing the ability to bet on which pig you think is going to win each race.

So, select your pig, drop a raffle ticket in his bucket, and if he wins ... so can you. And if your pig doesn't win, your ticket will go into the main Festival raffle for another chance at one of our many prizes.

Get your SQUEAKNESS "Betting" Tickets for:
1 for $1, 7 for $5, 20 for $10, or 30 for $15.
