Kick off New Year’s Day the Hank’s way. At Hank’s Filling Station, New Year’s Day isn’t just a date on

the calendar. It’s a full-on Norfolk tradition. Join us on January 1st for the 13th Annual Hogs for

Hope Pig Pickin’ & Oyster Roast, a day built on great food, live music, and doing some real good in

our community. Proceeds from the event benefit the Hope House Foundation so every plate comes

with a little extra heart.

We’re talking a backyard feast that goes big. Pulled pork piled high. Raw and steamed oysters. Chili,

shrimp-n-grits, hoppin’ john, mac-n-cheese, collards, and cornbread. All the New Year’s good luck

foods you’re supposed to eat, plus the ones you actually want. Add live music all day and a Bloody

Mary and Mimosa Bar to keep the celebration rolling.

This is the kind of day Hank’s is known for. Loud laughs. Long plates. Friends old and new. The best

way to start a brand-new year.

Tickets are $50 and always go fast. If you’ve been before, you already know. If you haven’t, this is

your sign.

Start 2026 with full plates, full hearts, and a full-on good time at Hank’s.
