Bertha Pig Roast
Bertha is also the site of an annual food, music, and entertainment festival known as the "Bertha Pig Roast." Held each March, the event began as a small cookout in 1996, but it has grown into a weekend-long extravaganza featuring the local food, music, art, and history of the Bertha community.
