Would You Like Bacon With That? The Bacon Festival Is Back

Richmond bacon festivalAn absolutely record-breaking bacon hungry crowd came to the first annual Bacon Festival at 17th street last year.  Bacon obsessed RVA was distraught as the festival was not prepared for all of Richmond to check their diets at the door and feast on bacon and drink craft beer.

But, bacon lovers, do not fret, you can have your cake with bacon too.

This year, the Richmond Bacon Festival returns to the 17th Street Farmers’ Market promising  an expanded layout, more event space, more restaurants, more food trucks, more beverage stations, and of course, more bacon.

Over 40 Richmond restaurants and food trucks will bring their creative minds to this event. Each one offering their own favorite bacon-centric dishes. Sample everything from bacon cheeseburger sliders, bacon- infused mac-n-cheese, bacon empanadas, bacon & cheese fritters and bacon corn muffins to candied bacon, bacon croissants, bacon ice pops, chocolate-covered bacon and maple-bacon lattes.

Learn more about the new layout for 2014, parking locations, participating restaurants, Devils Backbone, and more bacon-y love at the 17th Street Farmers’ Market Facebook page.
