Kingaroy BaconFest

Kingaroy BaconFest is back, bringing two sizzling days of flavour, fun and live entertainment. Celebrating all things bacon, this unique festival has something for everyone — from foodie experiences and family-friendly activities to headline music acts and celebrity chef demos.

Kingaroy BaconFest

Across the weekend, visitors can indulge in bacon-inspired treats like maple bacon ice cream, join the lively bacon-eating competition, and watch as the Australian Barbecue Alliance crowns the King of Bacon.

The program also features free basketball workshops with former NBA star Nate Jawai, a bustling Youth Precinct packed with kids’ activities, and live performances headlined by Australian country music legend Troy Cassar-Daley.

A Foodie Fiesta

Foodies will love the Big Bacon Breakfast, exclusive flavoured bacon packs, and cooking demonstrations from renowned chefs Alastair McLeod and Simone Prest.

Add in market stalls, giveaways, live music, and plenty of photo-worthy moments with the festival’s iconic Bacon Wings and mascot BaconMan, and you’ve got a weekend worth savouring.

Whether you’re a die-hard bacon lover or simply after a vibrant country festival experience, Kingaroy BaconFest serves up the perfect blend of food, entertainment and community spirit.
