Economic Impact

PIGZ IN Z’HILLS IS THE SIGNATURE EVENT FOR THE GREATER ZEPHYRHILLS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

PIG business is BIG business here in Zephyrhills. 

Since 2010, BBQ & Blues has pulled more than 3 million dollars into the Zephyrhills area. Last year, the festival brought an estimated economic impact of $500,000 to our local economy. 

Since its inception, BBQ & Blues has helped The Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce to provide approximately $40,000 in scholarships to Zephyrhills area students and given back over $100K to our community partners. 

BBQ & Blues engages over 200 dedicated volunteers every year. The Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce has awarded more than $68,000 in donations to local 501(c)3 youth groups and charities that commit time and talent to create this successful event. 

With 10,000-13,000 guests per year, BBQ & Blues has grown to become the most attended event in Zephyrhills. While nearly half of the participants are usually local, about 30% are regional and a surprising 20% are from out of state. BBQ & Blues helps put Zephyrhills on the map!
