Entertainment and Events


Admission to Hillsborough Hog Day is free; however, we do ask for a $1.00 donation to help defray the cost of entertainment.

Musical Entertainment
Every year, the Chamber manages to attract some of the best bands from the area and throughout the state. In the past, performers have included General Johnson and the Chairmen of the Board, The Band of Oz, Armand & Bluesology, Craving Melon, The Rocket Band and Keith Henderson, presenting his reknowned "Illusions of the King."

We are working on entertainment for 2004. Please check this site often for updates!

For the Little Ones
Hillsborough Hog Day features safe, fun games and rides for the kids. There's also a petting zoo, coordinated by Orange County 4-H, and a best-dressed pig contest. One of the day's highlights is the Pig Calling Contest, which is always a treat.


And, of course, there's always the Food!
