Coming Soon!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, barbecue lovers, music aficionados, and anyone with a heart the size of the Big Easy—get ready for Hogs for the Cause 2025, rolling into New Orleans on April 4th & 5th with more sizzle, smoke, and soul than ever before! This isn’t just any festival; it’s a phenomenal food and music experience that also happens to be one of the most impactful pediatric brain cancer fundraisers in the country.
Picture this: over 90 varieties of barbecue prepared by some of the best pitmasters in the game, paired with a lineup of world-class musical acts, all set against the vibrant energy of New Orleans. What could be better? Oh, that’s right—knowing that every bite and every beat helps families struggling with the financial burden of caring for children battling brain cancer. Now that’s a party with a purpose!
A Feast of Flavors: 90+ BBQ Styles Await You
If you thought barbecue was just ribs and pulled pork, honey, you are in for a flavor-packed revelation! The 2025 lineup will showcase everything from Texas-style brisket to Carolina whole-hog barbecue, Memphis dry rubs, and some seriously mouthwatering Cajun-inspired smoky goodness. Whether you love your ‘cue smothered in sauce, dry-rubbed to perfection, or fall-off-the-bone tender, this festival will have your taste buds dancing in delight.
With over 90 teams competing, you can expect to find unique dishes like pork belly burnt ends, smoked alligator sausage, sticky bourbon-glazed ribs, and jalapeño cheddar cornbread to complement it all. Bring your appetite—you’re going to need it!
A Star-Studded Musical Lineup
As if the food wasn’t reason enough to clear your schedule, Hogs for the Cause 2025 is turning up the volume with an incredible music lineup. This year’s acts will feature a mix of legendary headliners, New Orleans jazz and blues favorites, and high-energy rock and country bands that’ll have you two-stepping while you chew. Previous years have seen icons like Shakey Graves, The Revivalists, Old Crow Medicine Show, and St. Paul & The Broken Bones—so you already know 2025 is going to be a show-stopping, foot-stomping, crowd-swaying extravaganza!
The Festival with a Heart
While we’ll all be feasting and dancing, let’s not forget the reason we’re here—to support families navigating the unimaginable journey of pediatric brain cancer. Since its inception, Hogs for the Cause has raised millions to assist families with medical expenses, lodging, and essential care for their children. Every dollar spent on this event goes toward giving hope and relief to these brave families. So come hungry, come ready to groove, and most importantly, come ready to give back.
