It’s the first ever Baconpalooza, which Executive Director of the Auditorium, Chewi Lockhart hopes to make an annual event…

Lockhart says if you love bacon and beer, this is the place to be. There will be a variety of bacon foods such as bacon donuts, bacon cinnamon rolls, bacon mac and cheese, jalapeno wantons, and more.

It’s a 21 and older event. There will also be live entertainment, and a bacon eating contest. During the event, Lockhart says they’ll be announcing two new shows coming to the Memorial Auditorium…

BaconPalooza starts with a tailgating event at 10 a.m. called Kegs and Eggs. Baconpalooza itself begins at noon. Regular tickets are $15 a piece and $35 for a VIP pass.

The event was postponed due to the flooding of the Mississippi River earlier this summer, but has been rescheduled for this Saturday at Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium
