Let’s squeal together about our bacon community!
Kingaroy BaconFest is a two-day sizzling food festival (with a Friday night Wine and Swine cocktail party) that celebrates the versatility of bacon and puts Australian pork on centre stage.
Bacon lovers will experience the bacon eating competition, live music, fashion parades, celebrity chef cooking demonstrations, markets and most importantly delicious foods that showcase bacon!
Where else would you celebrate Bacon but in Kingaroy?! We thank one of the largest employers in our South Burnett Region, and Kingaroy BaconFest’s Naming Rights sponsor, SunPork Fresh Foods.

We couldn't do it without our sponsors!
We're getting 'piggy-with-it' in August!
Meet our volunteer committee who are committed to giving you a weekend of bacon, pork and good ol' country hospitality!
The levels of pork passion are out of this world when it comes to Evalyn. The chief wants nothing more than a sizzlin’ good time for everyone; welcome to bacon country!
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Ready to tackle any task with bacon-fueled enthusiasm, Kylie is our ninja Secretary. She may seem quiet, but a Cowboys footy game quickly changes that – no porkies about it!
This country gal can muster a mighty good tune and a mighty mob of volunteers. Trust her to crack the whip and get the Pig Crew on the job.
Megan is a treasure(r); the salt to our crackling! It’s far from a boar-ing job and BaconFest wouldn’t sizzle without her keen eye on our piggy bank.
It wouldn’t be a festival without a drove of stalls to get your swine share. With an eye for quality assurance, Anuj will grease the wheels and make sure you won’t say “that’s enough bacon”.
Local rockstar Tony will have your trotters tapping with the entertainment he’s got lined up for you! One little piggy went to the market, but this little piggy went to the dance floor.
Vicki will leave your friends swooning over the juicy merchandise you’ll be flaunting back home (BaconFest trucker cap anyone?). She’s a merch mogul by day, and a healthcare hero by night!
Go hog wild for all there is to see and experience in the region. If you’re in search for local businesses that offer fun and fodder, Michelle is your gal.
