The Flying Pig Festival was founded in 2024, but its history dates back much further. Once the Grand Old Lady of Mineral Wells, many people proclaimed The Baker Hotel would make her reappearance "when pigs fly". But if you know anything about Mineral Wells, then you know nothing is too crazy for this little town to tackle. Pigs are certainly flying in Mineral Wells and the "Flying Pig" has become synonymous with the rebirth, revitalization and big dreams coming true across the city. In honor of those same big dreams, Downtown Mineral Wells is excited to introduce the 2nd Annual Flying Pig Festival. Pigs are flying in the craziest little town in Texas and we invite you to come join in on the fun!
