Sort of like hog days. There are carnival rides, the world's largest outdoor pork barbecue, the parade that's really PIG, cotton candy, a craft show and flea market that takes up an entire city park, lemonade shakeups, mud volleyball, onion rings, Model T and A cars, homemade ice cream, a stampede health and fitness run (actually 3 of them!), last year, 16 entertainment acts appearing all over all weekend long and ALL of those things each have a great following. Why? "Because that's the way I like it!" say the thousands of people, past and present, that have made hog days into a 71 year event.

Labor Day weekend is a great time to gather together with family and friends and enjoy the last summer holiday of the year before the arrival of football and fall! And hog days is a great reason to do just that!

August 30th thru September 2nd, 2024 is the date for this year's event. If you're looking for a family-friendly time to enjoy heaping helpings of food, festival and fun, we invite you to the "Hog Capital Of the World and Kewanee Hog Days. Because THAT'S the way we like it!
