With an action-packed program that celebrates Kingaroy as the pork producing capital of Australia, the swine-inspired festival is being headlined by Spanish chef extraordinaire Miguel Maestre.
Back for another year, Maestre will be joined by Alastair McLeod, who will lead this year’s ‘Ready, Steady … Bacon’ series in the food hall.
“We are so excited to be ‘Bringing Home the Bacon’ again this year and that’s why we’ve chosen this as the festival’s 2023 theme,” said Chief Baconeer, Anitta Stallwood.
“We are anticipating this year's BaconFest to be our biggest and best yet. We’ve listened to the feedback from past attendees and are pleased to say we have more bacon in every form imaginable in Kingaroy for the whole family to wrap their mouths around,” she said.
BaconFest kicks off with a Wine and Swine function on Friday evening. Then it’s into it from the get-go on Saturday with the Rasher’s Fun Run and a host of activations including the Little Piggies and Artisan Market, and of course a multitude of food trucks serving more pork produce than you can poke a stick at.
“Kingaroy is the pork epicentre of Australia and as such we are inviting all Queenslanders and anyone with a penchant for pork to mark August 18-20 on their calendars, this is an event not to be missed,” Ms Stallwood added.
Swickers Bacon Factory has been operating in the region for more than 50 years and is the largest employer in the region.
“The entire Kingaroy community and of course our incredible cohort of volunteers are once again squealing with excitement at the prospect of another mouth-watering local event.”
