Bacon & Barrels Festival
On Saturday May 9, the Bacon & Barrels Festival returns to the Embarcadero’s Marina Park South. Experience a day full of bacon and artisan and craft barrel beverages such as bourbon, beer, wine, and scotch. From 1 to 5 p.m., visit over 100 foods and libation booths to nibble on some of the most imaginative bacon recipes from San Diego chefs and sip high-end small batch whiskey, scotch, tequila, gin and rum from local artisan purveyors. Left Coast Brewing Company, Stone Brewing Company, Enegren Brewing Company and Ironfire Brewing Company will also be on hand to sample exclusive craft beers. Live music from party band, 90’s With Attitude, plus indie favorite Black Crystal Wolf Kids are also not to be missed. For those who take their bacon and spirits seriously, Bacon & Barrels is hosting a V.I.P. (Very Important Pig) experience, with a special lounge featuring local chefs and mixologists preparing their best bacon and barrel-drink creations.
