Kingaroy Baconfest

Enjoy a 'pig day out' at the Kingaroy Baconfest, a sizzling 3-day food festival held in Southern Queensland Country's beautiful South Burnett region from August 16-18, 2024.

This crackling porker of a festival celebrates the versatility of bacon and puts Australian pork on centre stage.

On Friday night get a taste of Texas at the Wine'n'Swine Cocktail Party, then pig out at the two-day food market featuring specialist food trucks, attend a bacon eating competition, or learn from the best in the business at cooking demonstrations and master classes, with guest Celebrity Chefs.

Bacon lovers with a flare for fashion may want to enter a Miss BaconFest pinup pageant conducted by popular pinup icon Bettie Butcher. There’s even a Rasher’s Rush cycling and running event along the South Burnett Rail Trail and special activities for little piglets with a corner of the festival devoted to kids.

On Sunday you can start the day with a choice of two decadent breakfast events - the Long Table Breakfast at Kingaroy's Commercial Hotel or the Pig's Breakfast in the forecourt of the Town Hall.

Need to know - Ticketed events are the ‘Wine and Swine’ and the Long Table Breakfast and Pig's Breakfast in Kingaroy's CBD.
