Pork pride inbound

38th annual Hogeye Festival to celebrate local flavor

The “best little pig gig in Texas” will cast a pink hue over downtown Elgin for the 38th time next weekend, bringing with it music, laughter and plenty of pork puns.

The 38th annual Hogeye Festival, hosted by the Elgin Main Street Program, is the city’s largest annual event and primary fundraiser for downtown improvement projects. The Oct. 23-25 celebration will draw thousands of visitors from across Texas to enjoy Elgin’s longstanding traditions — powered by an army of local volunteers known as “hogunteers.”
