Mark your calendars: Hogs for the Cause returns to the UNO Lakefront on March 19th & 20th, 2027, and early bird tickets are on sale now. This is the best price you’ll see all year, and there are only so many to go around. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
One heads-up: that’s a few weeks earlier than usual. Hogs normally lands in April, so get it on the calendar now before it sneaks up on you.
What You’re Getting
Two days of what Forbes called the “World’s Most Delicious Fundraiser”:
- 🐷 90+ competing barbecue teams cooking for the cause
- 🎶 20+ bands across three stages
- 🥓 Bacon & Wings Night kicking things off Friday
- 💖 Every ticket helps families fighting pediatric brain cancer
Why It Matters
Hogs started in 2009 with one pig roast for one family. Since then, the festival and the year-round fundraising behind it have given more than $19 million to families whose kids are battling pediatric cancer. That money has also funded Hogs Houses, where families have stayed 60,000 nights free of charge while their kids are in treatment. When you buy a ticket, you’re part of that.
