BACON. ON. EVERYTHING.
Imagine this: You're surrounded by your best friends, an ice-cold beer in hand, and the irresistible aroma of sizzling bacon fills the air. A live band kicks off your favorite song—you all join in, singing between bites of crispy, savory perfection.
Nope, you're not dreaming. You're at Chicago Bacon Fest.
In celebration of everyone's favorite salty, smoky indulgence, we're throwing the ultimate street-fest-style party at Old Crow Smokehouse in Wrigleyville.
Think: bacon on bacon on bacon. Bacon-wrapped, bacon-stuffed, bacon-topped delights. Plus great drinks, live music, and more fun than your tastebuds can handle.
Come hungry. Leave bacon-obsessed.
This isn’t just a fest—it’s a full-on Bacon Bash.
