2016 Sun City BaconFest Gets Crispy April 17
Let's say -- just for argument's sake -- that you're the kind of person who goes to a breakfast buffet and briefly considers just grabbing the entire pan of bacon and running for it. No shame in that game, right? It's bacon, for the love of Pete.
Now imagine a place where the bacon flows like a waterfall of meaty goodness. It is real, my friend. We can lead you to such a place. The Sun City BaconFest is back April 17.
BaconFest will feature local restaurants and food trucks that will have a variety of sample-sized bacon-inspired eats, drinks and sweets available for purchase. We will have live entertainment throughout the day and you can sign up to win cash through a variety of contests. If you love bacon, this is Bacon Heaven.
