Bacon lovers unite! The Bacon, Bourbon & Brews festival is taking place on July 18, 2026, at Park City Arena in Park City, KS. Stroll through and indulge in bacon samples from up to 14 local restaurants, but be sure to remember which one you liked best so you can cast your vote for “Best Bacon Dish”. If you find yourself in need of a drink (if you leave room for it after the yummy samples, that is!), be sure to check out their selection of over 100 beers for you to sample as well. Again, you have an opportunity to vote for your favorite under the “Best Beer” category.
Where does the Bourbon come in? For a $10 upgrade, in advance, you can enjoy a bourbon tasting with your general admission. You get a choice of six samples from their three Bourbon booths. If you decide to purchase this upgrade at the door, it will cost $5 more, so we suggest buying it in advance to save a little money.
There is also a Hormel bacon eating contest where the winner receives… wait for it… FREE bacon for a YEAR! (Yes, really!)
