Don’t “Hog” All the Fun at Burque Bacon Week


Can you smell that? Yep, you guessed it: bacon!

Albuquerque is now home to lots of perennial festivals, but this inaugural event, the Southwest Bacon Fest should definitely be a crowd favorite. On November 2 at the Albuquerque Balloon Museum, The Southwest Bacon Fest will play host to local restaurants, food trucks, caterers, and culinary artist who love to showcase one thing: bacon! The event is part of the first ever Burque Bacon Week, a six-day celebration of everyone’s favorite pork product: “The Southwest Bacon Fest will showcase local food vendors and their incredible bacon creations, from grilled, savory bacon treats to bacon coffees, candies and sweets,” according to a news release.

Tickets to the Southwest Bacon Fest will be available shortly. For adults, admission is $7, which includes full admission to the famous Albuquerque Balloon Museum. Tickets for kids ages 4 to 12 will be just $2, and children 3 and under will be admitted for free.

And if you’re a professional or amateur cook, you can get your own vendor table for $150; sponsor opportunities are also available.

We’re looking forward to it! And we sure hope some of our residents bring home some tasty treats to share with the rest of us! (But we won’t blame you if you “hog” it all to yourself.)
