EVent Details:


The Big Pig 2011:
This year will feature live music by national and regional acts on two stages Friday and Saturday night. Friday night will also feature a late night DJ tent to take all you nocturnals into the early morning.

Enjoy on site camping, bon fires, and all the activities you've come to love in a weekend festival. Smiling faces and wandering consciousnesses highly likely. 10% of the Big Pig Committee's profits, as well as $2 from every shirt or hoodie sold, will be donated through charity to Ripley City and Cincinnati Public Schools. Gotta give a bit back to the trough.

Bring tent, camping gear, food, water, ice, grills for cooking, games, body paint, good attitudes and appropriate clothing for late Sept/early Oct (remember to check the weather conditions for rain). BYOB, no glass or pets please.

Food and merchandise vending on site, including:
Habanero - Cincinnati's own local bomb burrito joint.
Fristoe's Catering - The man with the plan. Rollin' fierce with the best pulled pork shoulder this side of the equator.
Liquid Jaguar World Music
Mr. Freshy - Mr. Freshy makes delicuous and nutritious pita sandwiches and whole wheat wraps in a wide variety of flavor combinations. From traditional gyros to buffalo chicken, a smoked chunk turkey club, or raw vegan pita we have something for everybody.
Festival Concessions Services - all the traditional festival goodies...cotton candy, soft pretzels, nachos, snow cones, funnel cakes, and more.

Demonstrations, Art & Festival Services:
Festi-Cab - That's right, you guessed it. These guys will be crusin around the festival grounds on their golf carts looking to pick you up. Catch the Festi-Cab TO and from the lot, TO your campsite or TO wherever you just plain don't wanna walk TO.
Shaolin Kung Fu Demo - You don't want to miss out on this. Black belts from the Blue Ash Shaolin-Do school will perform various styles of traditional kung fu and weapons forms!

Price:
The first 1,000 tickets will be going for the special price of $30 and then the price rises to $40....including at the gate. Buy Now Online. There is a $10 camping/parking fee due at check in so please bring cash and carpool. Kids 8 and under are free—gotta get them started early.

Early Birder Pre Party camping is available on Thursday, September 29th...for an extra $10 get all set up and beat the crowd a day early!

Kinda short on the funds and still wanna come? Just feel like being a part and helping out? Sign Up as a Volunteer and earn your passes by giving us hand over the weekend.

Time:
The Big Pig Music and Arts Festival will be held this year the weekend of September 30th thru October 2nd, 2011. General Admission Gates open on Friday at noon and will be closing up around 3pm Sunday. Admission for Early Birder Pre Party passes and volunteer orientation will begin Thursday at noon.

Location:
We will be coming to you live from the banks of the Mighty Ohio River in "Central South" Ohio...the town of Ripley to be exact. Just 50 miles east of Cincinnati, Pisgah Hill Farms is the property and 5113 Pisgah Hill Rd is the address.

Rules:
We wanna have fun, but we also need to keep it cool. As previously mentioned it's BYOB and please NO GLASS. There is NO-RENTRY.

NO: illegal substances, drugs, tanks, fireworks, weapons, PETS, unlicensed vending, incendiary devices, and general douche-baggery. Come ready to have fun but be mindful of your neighbors...we're all a part.
