What’s Being Served at 2017 Sun City BaconFest? So Glad You Asked…
April 23, 2017 will be an incredibly busy day downtown, but so worth it, especially since you can just walk a couple blocks in any direction to Union Plaza, where you'll find enough bacon to choke a small pony.
But you know, don't choke, okay?
Still, if you're wondering exactly what gets served at a BaconFest, here's your handy-dandy guide.
(NOTE: Menu and vendors are subject to change, because this is the real world, and stuff happens, yo.)
