Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Nehemiah 13:18
“Pig on the Pond” is an annual festival that takes place at Waterfront 
Park in Clermont, Florida. According to the City of Clermont, the Pig on
the Pond celebration brings “fun” and “delicious barbecue” to the
community.
Adult admission to this event is $5, while child admission is $3.
The three-day pig festival took place on Friday, October 14, 2022, from
5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Saturday, October 15, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m.; and Sunday, October 16, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
AdventHealth and the City of Clermont served as the festival’s primary corporate sponsors.
This is an event to celebrate pork and runs all day on Saturday, during
Sabbath hours. The official schedule noted that there would be carnival
rides, games, live rock, jazz, and country music, as well as a lot of
pork BBQ on the menu, which are all clear violations of God’s Sabbath
and dietary laws. Therefore, not only did AdventHealth sponsor a
carnival where people could eat pork on the Sabbath, but all the
visitors had to pay to do so.
Q: So, how does breaking the Sabbath and eating pork fit into the Seventh-day Adventist church’s mission and message?
A: They don’t."
