2023 Wellington Bacon & Bourbon Fest 9th Annual

Bottoms up & Bacon down! Join us this year as we expand the tastings and explore the best bourbons & bacon delights from around the world. We welcome you back for the 9th annual Wellington Bacon & Bourbon Fest. Held on the promenade, the free event is scheduled for March 25th & March 26th 2023 and offers you the opportunity to taste from a selection of more than 40+ bourbons and celebrates the most loved food in the universe – BACON! In 2018 The Cooking Channel featured us on their hit show, “Carnival Eats”! Host Noah Cappe enjoyed Chef Winston’s great Garlic Mojo Corn Cakes in addition to a vast array of bacon infused goodies! The two-day event features artist & crafters, an eclectic menu of bacon infused culinary delights and a collection of over 40 bourbons and whiskeys for your tasting pleasure. Our menu of bacon and pork related dishes will include the sublime Forever Roasted Bourbon BBQ Pork & Bacon Sandwich to the insane candied bacon. Menu items developed by local chefs explore the boundaries of New American Cuisine and the Farm to Table movement to good old-fashioned comfort foods, just like Mom used to make! At the heart of all of our festivals is our commitment to create fun-filled food lover community events featuring unique food and beverages. We strive to ensure that our sponsors are richly rewarded for their investment in our events and our community. The event’s strong commitment to the community is that they are designed as a fund-raising opportunity for non-profit organizations that staff the event. We’ve cleared it with your doctor, your cardiologist and your mother; indulge in the sweet smell of bacon & guzzle down the smooth taste of bourbon at the Wellington Beach Bacon & Bourbon Festival.
