Baconfest Michigan – What Is It?

OK, tell me some more about Baconfest Michigan!

Can you say BACON?  There will be samples of more types of bacon than you could possibly imagine, served up in the most creative ways by participating restaurants!  There'll be bacon wrapped around other foods, as well as a wide array of bacon-themed desserts.  If you can imagine it with bacon, then it’s going to be here!  Restaurants, celebrity chefs will join you and vendors all in one location helping celebrate the love (some say obsession) with all things bacon-related. For one price you’ll get entire Baconfest event access and even drink tickets to help you get in the mood!

How much bacon are we talking about here exactly?

In addition to bacon-sampling stations, 35+ Michigan-based restaurants will be joining the event, 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!  You might want to consider not eating the day before. The organizers know there will be die-hard bacon fanatics who will attempt to eat everything, they won’t judge you. Organizers anticipate that everyone will get more than enough bacon to be very happy campers by the end of the event.
