Out of an abundance of caution, the City of Kennesaw & Kennesaw Parks & Recreation
have decided to cancel the Pigs & Peaches BBQ Festival. Pigs & Peaches was originally scheduled for August 21 & 22, 2020.
As always, the health and safety of our community, including visitors, vendors and staff, is our first priority.
We look forward to continuing this great annual event next year.
