Bacon festivals which run out of bacon

Monday, August 4, 2014

One takeaway from bacon-themed festivals this summer: you'd better have a whole lot of bacon.

The Beer Bacon Music festival in Frederick, Md., drew over 5,000 people for the first day of their May event, according to the Frederick News-Post. But even though they had two tons of bacon cooking at their "all-you-can-eat bacon bar," they couldn't keep up with demand, leaving many festivalgoers, who paid up to $125 a ticket and waited hours in line, feeling hungry and ripped off. Demands for refunds and an avalanche of bad Internet press followed. One unhappy festivalgoer, attorney James Braswell, told the News-Post he plans to file a complaint in district court. "If one is going to advertise all-you-can eat bacon, you better have all-you-can-eat bacon."

The Bacon Nation Festival in St. Augustine, Fla., encountered similar problems when some vendors ran out of bacon just two hours into the April event, First Coast News reports. And the Maryland Bacon Festival's Facebook page was flooded with complaints of long lines, not enough vendors and vendors running out of product after their April festival in Baltimore.

Bacontoday.com lists 46 baconfests taking place across the United States from February to November. BP
