During the 2023 winter holiday season, my wife and I noticed a local senior living tour bus which kept stopping in front of our house. One day I decided to go out and ask what everyone was looking at. The driver proceeded to tell me that his passengers insisted on seeing the Flying Pig Lantern which my wife Jaclyn displayed as part of her Christmas decorations. Well... that simply touched our hearts.
After discussing the incident with our neighbors Patrick, Phillip and Amy, the Flying Pigs Festival was born!

At Walnut Grove's Flying Pigs Festival, our mission is to provide a joyful way to celebrate the holiday season; to support the local community of all ages and traditions; and - to honor and preserve Walnut Grove's Japanese and Chinese Heritage.
So... come fly with us and help spread the joy!
