Video: A runaway pig wreaked havoc at the Waterford Harvest Festival over the weekend

Babe: Pig in Waterford City...

We know that organising any sort of festival, be it big or small, is a hell of a task. You've so much to sort out with location, stages, performers, a licence (GarthGate), sponsors and security among the things required for your event to run smoothly. Out of all the things listed there, security is probably one of the easiest to get right. The obvious move is to hire a festival specific security firm who are experience in dealing with large events and they'll come in and take care of everything, simples. There might be some new training methods introduced for security firms after what happened at the Waterford Harvest Festival over the weekend...

The highlight of the #Waterford @harvest_fest so far has been the lads chasing the escaped pig down the Mall. God I loves me city :) — Richie Daly (@richiedaly) September 12, 2014

Pig loose in Waterford watch out ppl — Nathan (@nathancarey_) September 12, 2014

Yes, a runaway pig somehow got loose and left security staff scrambling around the streets of Waterford trying to catch it. The pig, whose identity is unknown, was spotted crashing King Kong Company's performance on the street and thankfully YouTube user Eric Heaslip was there to capture the moment. We love this... http://youtu.be/5m_p2ZT4bl0
