Get ready for a full day of nonstop fun, food and hometown celebration. From the squeals at the pig races to activities for the whole family, this milestone year is shaping up to be one of our biggest and best yet! Mark your calendar, bring your friends and come hungry for BBQ, sweet treats and unforgettable memories.
Enjoy FREE live music on THREE stages all day long, with Sister Hazel capping off the celebration at 7 PM on the Neuse River Amphitheater Stage! Originating from Gainesville, Florida, Sister Hazel is known for feel-good Southern rock, unforgettable live shows, and the kind of songs that bring people together — including their iconic hit “All For You.” With music that spans rock, alternative, and country, they’ve built a loyal fan-base that follows them everywhere.
In addition, chrome, classics, customs, and cool rides of every kind will be rolling into Downtown Smithfield for the Ham & Yam Car Show, hosted by the Southland Car Club, as part of the festival. The 40th Annual Ham & Yam Festival is going to be one for the history books — and you won’t want to miss it!
