Richmond Bacon Festival frying up in Shockoe Bottom on Sunday

Lovers of bacon rejoice your day in the sun has arrived. This festival is just for you. Richmond Bacon Festival features a ton of vendors producing their favorite bacon taste treats for all of us. Bacon starts slinging at noon and lasts until 5 PM on Sunday, June 18th. One important note is that the festival is not in it’s traditional spot at the 17th Street Farmers Market. The temporary location is at 1615 E. Broad Street, just a block away. (see map below)

From the official Facebook page:

Holler “SOOOIIIIEEE”! The best of the pig is here at the 5th Annual Richmond Bacon Festival: smoky, crisp, a little bit sweet and just the right amount of salty. Join us on Sunday, June 18th from 12pm-5pm as we kick back with our sponsor, Devils Backbone Brewing Company, and welcome Summer to Shockoe!

$4 plates (perfect for sampling), Virginia craft beer from Devils Backbone, and live music all make for a perfect Sunday afternoon for the whole family. Vegetarian options will be available! Beer tickets can be purchased with cash or credit, but we recommend having cash on hand for food vendors.

NEW Location and Parking:
For 2017, Bacon will operate at a temporary location at 1615 East Broad Street, one block from 17th Street Market. Ample free on street and paid parking is available in adjacent parking lots on 17th and Grace Streets. Enrichmond’s Festivals will return to the Market in 2018, following this summer’s highly anticipated renovation.

We will provide free Bicycle Parking right next to the festival.

Entry Fee:
$1 suggested entry donation to Enrichmond keeps the bacon rolling! Enrichmond is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Your attendance supports Enrichmond’s mission to enhance Richmond parks and activate its public spaces.
