Birmingham Pig Roast
August 10 @ 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM
The ¡HICA! Junior Board presents the inaugural Birmingham Pig Roast—an event that brings together Alabama’s passion for good barbecue and the rich Latino communities in Birmingham.
In Puerto Rico and other Latino cultures, a pig roast happens whenever there is a big celebration. Now, ¡HICA! is bringing that celebration to the Magic City. Join us for juicy, tender pulled pork, delicious sides, family-friendly entertainment and more. Plus, try the Lagerveza—a beer by Cahaba Brewing Company brewed just for the event. We’ll bring los lechones (those are the succulent pigs, ready to slow roast for hours). You bring your appetite. Welcome to our familia.
What happens at a pig roast? There’s a lot that goes down before we’re ready to eat. First, we build a fire pit. Then, after seasoning the lechones, we slow cook them—for hours and hours (read, overnight). Those hours are a lot of fun. In fact, you might want to come grab a photo with the pig before we dig in. Because when all that hard work is done—that’s the best part. Time to grab a fork and dive into that delicious pork.
All proceeds benefit ¡HICA! and its mission to empower Latinos in Alabama.
