Star City BaconFest 2018 to Cook Up Creative Bacon-Based Treats

Bacon lovers, this is the news you’ve been waiting for: Star City BaconFest (starcitybaconfest.com) returns to the Capital City for the third year on April 22 at Lincoln’s Cornhusker Marriott Hotel.

Again this year, chefs from several popular area restaurants will offer up their creative bacon-infused samples of everything from sweet to savory–and about everything in between.

Doors will open at 4:30 p.m., with bacon sampling continuing until 7 p.m. Admission is $25 for adults, with children 12 and under free. Ticket availability is limited, so purchasing early is strongly suggested. Tickets can be purchased online at starcitybaconfest.com.

Entertainment will be provided by Screamers Dining and Cabaret. Blue Blood Brewing Company will be providing beer samples, while Pepsi will be offering free soft drink samples. Throughout the evening, BaconFest attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite bacon-inspired treats. Hormel Foods is providing products for the chefs to use during Star City BaconFest.

Star City BaconFest 2018 is sponsored again this year by the Nebraska Restaurant Association (NRA) and the Nebraska Pork Producers Association (NPPA). Proceeds go toward scholarships for culinary students in Nebraska.
