Iowa’s most popular Bacon Festival is back and will celebrate its 16th anniversary at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Agriculture Building! BW Outdoors will be cooking up some bacon fatties on a rotating smoker. Slices will be served on a soft bun and fixed up with a little special sauce. One bite will transport you into another solar system.

The Main Stage will be rocking to the tunes of The Pork Tornadoes,
The Midwest’s Premiere Party Band. Attendees can also enjoy a Spacey Vibed Cantina, Iowa Craft Beer, Themed Bars, High Noon Hydration Stations, Silent Disco, Golf Simulator, Wookie Ax Throwing, and a myriad of other weird and wacky space-themed attractions.
