There’s a new bacon festival in town, actually Madison, WI.

Organizers of the Madison Bacon Festival, a Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival event, have announced that tickets are on sale exclusively online at www.madisonbaconfestival.com. The inaugural event will take place at Alliant Energy Center on Saturday, November 1st offering bacon-lovers an opportunity to explore their sizzling obsessions in a creative and celebratory environment. Organized and promoted in partnership between the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival and the Madison community, the uniquely quirky celebration will provide participants with Wisconsin’s largest bacon showcase, bacon lectures, bacon-inspired dishes, bacon competitions, an annual bacon queen contest, live entertainment and bacon fellowship.

Brooks Reynolds, co-founder of the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, provided an update on the plans surrounding the Madison event, “As always, our focus has been on the BACON and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s coming together.” Reynolds continued, “On one side we have the craft bacons; like Nueske’s, Jone’s Dairy Farms, Berkwood Farms and Des Moines Bacon Company. Then we have some of the industry giants represented as well, such as Oscar Mayer and Farmland. No doubt about it, on November 1st the ‘OHHHH BACON!’ chant will resonate throughout the great state of Wisconsin.”
