Pig'n Whistle Photo Gallery

Throughout the years there have been many memories created at the Pig'n Whistle. Though Macon has had several locations, the most famous of them was located on Georgia Avenue where a Church's Chicken now stands.

With the many memories comes many faces. Our Gallery page is a dedication to those faces and memories and we look forward to sharing them with you.

1994 Pig'n Whistle Reunion

The reunion was to take place December 2 - 4 in 1994. Doors would open at 6 p.m. and stay open until Sunday evening at 6 p.m. Though by 11 a.m. Friday morning people were already lined up wanting in to share their memories of the "Pig" and savor some taste they had not had in almost 16 years. Before the weekend was over, more than 2000 people had gathered to eat BBQ and remember Macon's most popular hangout. Below we share some of the memories of that weekend with you.
