Labadie Rib Fest 2022 Happens This Weekend In Bay City
You say Bay City Pig Gig, but organizers are calling the 2022 revival of this fan-favorite event - Labadie Rib Fest. I will call it whatever they want, ribs are still the main focus and that is what I care about.
All kidding aside, yes - the name is changing, but it is so exciting to have this food festival returning. If you are not familiar, the four-day festival is all about food, music, entertainment, and fun for the whole family.

According to the official event Facebook page, the Labadie Rib Fest is a volunteer-operated event with proceeds going to local charities. The festival is currently looking for local charities and community groups that can provide volunteers in exchange for exposure and/or a momentary donation. Volunteers will handle operations like trash removal, ticket taking, VIP tent food service, and more. If that sounds like something you are interested in, just email info@baycityribfest.com for details.
It has been 10 years since the last Pig Gig. As you can imagine this event brings people from all over to Bay City. I for one am super excited to see it return, even under a new name. I look forward to seeing you at the Labadie Rib Fest in July.
