Once again we will host 70 barbeque competition teams. BBQ teams from across the U.S. are expected to compete in the competition on the North Carolina Research Campus sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society. Our signature concert Friday night will be The New Familiars. Other bands performing during Jiggy include the Flash Back Party Band, Stepside Deluxe and the Bill Miller Band. The festival, sponsored by Smithfield, will have more than 100 arts & crafts vendors, concerts, a 5K walk/run, fireworks and a People’s Choice wings and pork tasting. We continue to have our events for children including the popular Zucchini 600. Children can build a racecar out of zucchini and race for prizes. Movies on Campus returns, sponsored by the 600 Festival, with Disney’s Cars 3. As always this festival is free to the public. No pets please.
