Besides the occasional vegan or vegetarian, it’s typically pretty hard to find someone who doesn’t like the smokey and mouth-watering flavor of bacon. At the annual Baconfest in Easton, Pennsylvania, you can celebrate your love for the popular meaty snack by engaging in lots of bacon-themed fun. If you plan to attend this year, here are three fun things you have to check out while you’re there.

1. Good Eats

Since it’s a festival centered around bacon, you can imagine the food is fantastic. Walk around Baconfest and discover all the amazing vendors churning out bacon-infused goodies from cupcakes to sliders to s’mores. Be sure to bring your appetite – you’ll want to give everything a try!

2. High on the Hog

Riding on a mechanical bull is a fun way for friends to challenge each other to see who can stay on top the longest. Sure, bulls are fun, but have you ever ridden a pig? Hop on the mechanical hog ride at Baconfest and see how long you can hold on for. It’s a ton of fun that’s perfect for celebrating your love for all things pork-infused.

3. Costume Contest

If you’re preparing your trip for Baconfest in advance, head over to its website where you can register to take part in its annual costume contest. Dress in the best pig or bacon-inspired get-up and you could win great prizes. Bacon has never seemed more fitting!

There’s a ton of activities to partake in while you’re at Baconfest so be sure to discover them all. We hope you have an amazing time enjoying good eats and great fun!
