Portland’s third annual Baconfest takes place Saturday, August 13, 2011. The street party runs from noon until 8pm at 18th and East Burnside – adjacent to the East Burn (1800 E Burnside).

Entertainment includes live bands and the services of DJ Mel.
Festival goers can compete in The Bacon Toss, The Wacky Bacon Eating Contest, Giant Bacon Twister, The Greasy Bacon Foot Challenge, The Bacon Dance Off, or The Bacon Art Wall for fabulous prizes.
