Hog Waddle 2023, featuring Tejano super sensation Grupo Siggno, is set for March 25, 2023, at the San Benito Fairgrounds.
Tickets are $5 at the gate (children 10 and under enter for free), but can be purchased ahead of the event at the San Benito Public Library at 101 W. Rose St.
In addition to Siggno, award-winning vocalist Jay Perez will also perform, along with other local musical artists.
According to the City of San Benito, Hog Waddle is a fun, family event that features plenty of delicious food, cold drinks and, this year, a full-fledged carnival will be on site beginning March 23 and will remain at the Fairgrounds through March 26.
The event gets its name from a particularly unusual event in San Benito history.
In 1914, one of the City’s pioneers marched more than 2,000 hogs up main street during a parade. After someone in the crowd fired a celebratory shot into the air, the hogs scattered throughout the town. It subsequently took three days to round them all up.
