The 2023 Plant City Pig Jam is back, featuring over 50 competition BBQ teams coming to Plant City from 13 different states to compete in the Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctioned competition on Nov. 18 and 19 at the Randy Larson Fourplex located at 1500 S Park Rd, Plant City, FL 33566. This fun-filled family-friendly event is free to attend, and parking is only $10.
Friday night the event area is open to the public from 5 to 10 p.m.
The event features bounce houses, rock climbing walls, face painting, games and entertainment for kids of all ages in the Pig Jam Piglet Play Area. For adults, there will be live music and plenty of ice-cold drinks at the Pepin Sports Bar to enjoy. Families are encouraged to come out and grab dinner cooked by some of the best barbecue teams in the country. In the past, menu items have included BBQ macaroni and cheese, ribs, brisket, BBQ chicken, and even BBQ filled eggrolls.
On Saturday the event area is open to the public from 10am-5pm with two stages of live entertainment. There will be live bands as well as community groups performing throughout the day. Teams will be busy cooking up their BBQ entries for the competition on Saturday, so be sure to stick around for the awards ceremony at 5 p.m. to see who the “Grill Masters” are this year.

Many volunteers are still needed to help make this community event possible. Volunteering is a great way to get a behind-the-scenes peak at this two-day BBQ festival; stations include the beer tents, merchandise tents and kids’ area. To sign up to volunteer please visit www.plantcitypigjam.com.
All proceeds from the Plant City Pig Jam benefit The Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce. The organization serves both the Plant City business community and local residents – it’s good food, for a good cause.
Plant City Entertainment, Inc. presents: The Legend Of Frankenstein, Unleashed!
Written and directed by the brilliant Carlton Jones, The Legend of Frankenstein, Unleashed! is the third installment of the stage trilogy, The Legend of Frankenstein. A three act play, it is presented with each act taking place during a different time period. The new thriller has more than one monster that will spring to life in a masterful production full of twists and turns that will span time from the 1870’s to the 1970’s. Like the first two productions, there is again a nod to Madame Tussaud’s. When two of the creatures are visited at Watson Manor by a 1940’s film crew, surprises, terror and death occur. In the late 1960’s, a monstrous secret is revealed. The finale is classic monster time with a riveting ending that no one sees coming!
The Legend of Frankenstein, Unleashed! will be hailed as the perfect terror tale for the Halloween season, starting on Sept. 29 and running select nights through Oct. 8.
