From its humble beginnings, Pigs & Peaches has grown into one of the region's most beloved festivals, attracting an estimated 60,000 attendees annually.

From Its roots trace back to the historic train Depot in downtown Kennesaw where in 2000, the City of Kennesaw's Parks & Recreation Department held a blues concert and barbeque cook-off for a handful of amateur grillers.

The backyard-only tradition continued until 2007 when organizers chose to elevate the experience for competitive cook teams by sanctioning the event.

In 2008, to make room for more cook teams and a few vendors eager to be part of the festivities, the event was moved to its current location on Main Street & the United Bankshares Amphitheater.

Now in its 25th year, the festival features two days of non-stop music, good eats, cold beer and interactive fun.
