Smoking Pig BBQ Company is set to commemorate 15 years of serving slow-smoked barbecue in San Jose with a community anniversary event on Saturday, August 22, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at its location at 1144 N. 4th Street. The celebration underscores the restaurant's enduring presence in the local food scene and its commitment to fostering community ties.
The milestone event will feature live entertainment, including a performance by JC Smith & The Band from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and a DJ and MC from noon to 6:00 p.m. Hourly giveaways will be hosted by the DJ, offering attendees a chance to win various prizes. Family-friendly activities such as face painting, glitter tattoos, balloon animals, large yard games, and an anniversary photo backdrop will be available throughout the afternoon.
In addition to the festivities, Smoking Pig BBQ will distribute T-shirts, bottles of its signature BBQ sauce, tote bags, gift cards, and original pig paintings. The event will culminate in a grand giveaway featuring an anniversary gift basket containing a T-shirt, five bottles of BBQ sauce, and a $50 gift card.
The 15-year anniversary is more than a celebration of the restaurant's longevity; it is an opportunity for Smoking Pig BBQ to express gratitude to the San Jose community and the customers who have supported the business over the years. Known for its slow-smoked barbecue, the menu includes ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and signature creations such as its popular bacon-wrapped jalapeños known as Wolf Turds.
This anniversary comes at a time when local businesses face ongoing challenges, making the event a testament to the restaurant's resilience and the strong bonds it has built with its patrons. The gathering not only highlights Smoking Pig's culinary offerings but also serves as a community hub, reinforcing the importance of supporting local establishments.
Media representatives are invited to attend, with opportunities for interviews with ownership and team members, behind-the-scenes footage of the smoking process, and coverage of the live music and family activities. The event is open to the public, and attendance is free.
Smoking Pig BBQ Company operates additional locations in Fremont, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada, but this celebration specifically honors its San Jose roots. As the restaurant marks this milestone, it reaffirms its dedication to providing quality barbecue and Southern hospitality to the community that has embraced it for a decade and a half.
