Hog on the Hill

Hog on the Hill is an annual barbecue cook-off in Chester that brings together South Carolina Barbeque Association (SCBA) teams and local cooks for a weekend built around smoked pork, friendly competition, and a community crowd. The event is designed as a downtown-style barbecue gathering where visitors can sample competition barbecue, listen to live music, and enjoy family-friendly activities. A kids area and additional attractions are often part of the setup, making it an easy outing for groups who want food, entertainment, and a relaxed outdoor vibe.
