Pig in the Park is currently seeking a variety of vendors to participate in our annual community festival on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at The HUB in Downtown Goldsboro. We welcome arts and crafts vendors, retail vendors, and food vendors who are interested in being part of a high-energy event that draws hundreds of attendees from across the community. This is a great opportunity to showcase your products or services, connect with local customers, and be part of a long-standing Goldsboro tradition that supports the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Plain, formerly the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County.

Vendor Opportunities:

 

  • Vendors of All Kinds: Whether you’re an artist, craftsman, small business owner, or community organization, we welcome you to showcase your offerings to a diverse and enthusiastic crowd. Standard booth spaces are 12'x12'. Please note, electricity is not available; vendors are responsible for providing their own secured shelter, tables, and chairs.

 
  • Food & Beverage Vendors: To maintain the event’s strong culinary focus, Pig in the Park is highly selective with food and beverage vendors. Our signature barbecue plates, prepared by competing cook teams, remain the centerpiece of the festival and directly support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Plain. To complement the barbecue experience, we are specifically seeking dessert and specialty drink vendors that offer high-quality, unique options for attendees. Interested vendors must contact us directly to discuss availability and receive a separate application. Please note that vendor spots are extremely limited and highly competitive.
