Porklandia Returns – A Celebration of Local Flavor!

In Portland, they "put a bird on it." In Carlton, we "put a pig on it!" Welcome back to Porklandia, where we celebrate our local farms, world-class food, and small-town charm.

This year, Porklandia expands to two full days—July 12-13! Join us for a delicious weekend featuring:

• Pork-inspired dishes and drink specials at local restaurants and tasting rooms

• A live BBQ competition showcasing top grill masters (July 13, 10 AM - 3 PM, Ladd Park)

• Farm tours highlighting our region’s agricultural excellence

• A 5K Run and Kids Fun Run for a little friendly competition

• Live music to keep the festivities going

This family-friendly event is a great way to celebrate local flavors, honor dads, and toast to your 2025 graduate. Mark your calendar, and get ready to eat, drink, and celebrate all things pork!
