FORT PIERCE, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Part of the Country Western & Wildlife Art Festival and Craft Show, the two-day event brings together BBQ competition, live country music, and a busy Arts & Crafts vendor row on the waterfront. Organizers are now accepting vendor applications, with a limited-time discount for makers who sign up early.

Now in its fourth year, the BBQ Pig Jam has become a winter favorite for Treasure Coast residents and visitors. Guests can stroll the marina, enjoy the smell of slow-smoked BBQ from competing pitmasters, and settle in for live country music throughout the weekend. The relaxed, family-friendly setting welcomes everyone, from longtime locals to first-time visitors looking for a fun day out by the water.

The event's Arts & Crafts row gives artists and makers a direct line to engaged, steady crowds. Attendees come ready to browse and buy handmade goods, from wildlife art and country-inspired décor to jewelry, woodwork, and one-of-a-kind gifts. The waterfront location and two-day schedule give vendors plenty of time to meet shoppers and sell their work.
