Tell me some more about Baconfest Michigan.
There will be bacon- we’ll have samples of bacon-infused dishes, served up in the most creative ways by our participating restaurants! We’ll have bacon wrapped around other foods, as well as a wide array of bacon-themed desserts. If you can imagine it with bacon, then its going to be here! You’ll be joined by restaurants, celebrity chefs, and vendors all in one location helping us celebrate our love (some say obsession) with all things bacon-related. For one inclusive price you’ll get entire Baconfest event access, and even drink tickets to help you get in a celebratory mood.
So, what about the Bacon?
In addition to our bacon-sampling stations, 30+ Michigan-based restaurants will be joining us, creating their bacon-infused specialties for all attendees to enjoy. All for one inclusive price, no extra charge or tickets to buy once you’re in the door. This is not an all-you-can eat event, but we anticipate that everyone will get more than enough bacon to be very happy campers by the end of the festival.

What if I live out of the state of Michigan?
Just because there’s Michigan in the title, that doesn’t mean you can’t road trip from Ohio, Illinois, Oregon, Texas or any other great state to come visit us, enjoy the Motor City, engage in a big fun celebration of bacon, and just maybe meet some new friends while you’re here!
