A Celebration of History and Community

The Hog Waddle traces its roots back to when San Benito was an agricultural town. Today, the event honors that history while offering affordable, family-friendly activities such as live music, a cook-off, an Alamo reenactment, and performances by San Benito CISD. It’s a day for the community to come together and celebrate San Benito’s rich heritage.

The Hog Waddle is an annual festival celebrating San Benito’s community spirit with live music, local BBQ, and activities for all ages.
