The Flying Pig Festival was founded in 2024, but its history dates back much further. For years many people have proclaimed The Baker Hotel aka "The Grand Old Lady of Mineral Wells" would make her reappearance "when pigs fly". But if you know anything about Mineral Wells, then you know nothing is too crazy for this little town to tackle. Pigs are certainly flying in Mineral Wells and the "Flying Pig" has become synonymous with the rebirth, revitalization and big dreams coming true across the city. In honor of those same big dreams, Downtown Mineral Wells is excited to introduce the inaugural Flying Pig Festival. Pigs are flying in the craziest little town in Texas and we invite you to come join in on the fun!
Get ready to soar at The Flying Pig Festival in Historic Downtown Mineral Wells where we blend the rich history of our past with the exciting revitalization and growth of our future.
Join us on Friday, June 14th and Saturday, June 15th for two days of pork-packed fun that is sure to have you squealing with excitement!
Shake your ham to the beat with an evening full of music on the Gettin' Piggy With It Main Stage! Check out a great show from Andie Kay Joyner, Tommy Alverson and The Tejas Brothers & enjoy some tasty cook-off treats!
