The Sausage Capital of Texas outdoes itself once again with the 34th Annual Hogeye Festival, celebrating in a small town with a huge appetite for family fun and a tremendous spirit for honoring pigs. Hogs, sows and piglets are all sure to find a pigtivity just right for them at the annual Hogeye Festival in Elgin, Texas! Activities surrounding the event include live entertainment on two stages, a carnival, the Road Hog Car Show, Gordon E Swenson BBQ Pork Cook-Off, Lindsy Kay Wing Children’s Pet Parade, a free street dance, Pearl’s Before Swine Art Show, the Hogalicious Dessert Contest, cow patty bingo, a vintage farm equipment display and much more.

What sets this festival apart from so many others is the combination of humor and history. The day begins with
the Elgin Sowpremes, Elgin’s infamous singing group, riding in on “hogs” (Harleys) to serenade the crowd with porky tunes. It sets the stage for a day filled with pig puns, eating sausage on a stick with an appreciation of the real deal, admiring and acquiring handmade arts and crafts, and enjoying the great tunes by local musicians. Find yourself hanging out on Main Street, a National Register Historic District, with the other little piglets hamming it up. This is a day filled with community spirit and piggy pride, and a unique Texas festival experience that should not be missed.
