Pourcailhade 2007
Ok so no Festival Pigs have been to the Porcailhade. Yet. However after speaking with the organisers by phone and seeing as we are all Pig Lovers I felt it necessary to cover this festival. When Sundy 12th August. It occurs every year on the second Sunday in August. Where Trie Sur Baise, Haute Pyrnees, France. Why The Pourcailhade occurs in Trie Sur Baise because this is the pride of the area. It is one of France's largest Pork Producing areas. Trie Sur Baise has the last remaining French all pig markets. The inaugural festival was in 1975. 
Who The organisers are the brotherhood of the Pig. The entire town decks out in snouts and belts with pig tail attachments. Every business must make create it's own personal pigtastic character, image or cartoon.
Pourcailhade is a very traditional French festival and most people there will be French. If anyone is thinking of making the pigrimage (ok lame pun) this year please tell us how it was.
What to eat Pig. There is a great variety of meat. Apart from the pig tag associated with this festival, it's really a great food festival with a strange quirk. What to do The events begin at 11am and go through to midnight. There is constant jovial music in the town • Piglet races • Pork sausage-eating contest • Best piggy outfit Competition • Cri Du Cochon - Pig impersonation Competition
DONT MISS THIS Cri Du Cochon. People must impersonate on stage a pig at different stages of life - birth, first kiss, puberty, death & of course sex. Remember a pig's orgasm last for 30 minutes ! Dangers & Annoyances Overdosing on pig puns. Airport Biarritz, San Sebastian (Spain), Toulouse.
