New fun events for the whole family!
The Pork & Hops Challenge is not just about great music and incredible food, we also have tons of daily
events going on for family fun. In addition to bump and jumps & carnival rides - Pork & Hops is bringing in two extreme thrills:
FACEoffZ!
FACEoffZ! is safe, competitive jousting fun. Duke it out with your friends or take on all-comers. Super-sized padded
jousting gloves, pads or sticks make for friendly combat! FACEoffZ! is just as much fun for the spectators as it is for the participants!
TrapeZe
Ever wanted to fly? Here's your chance! Half a trapeze that's a whole bunch of fun. Learn flips & tricks - then try the TRAP-EZE!
