The Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival has attracted over 1,200 bacon enthusiasts from over 12 states to celebrate America’s favorite salty indulgence over the past 3 years.

Unfortunately, for every bacon lover that has attended the festival there are millions who have missed it. So, in an effort to bring the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival to every bacon lover’s home, the Iowa Bacon Board has compiled some articles, photos and videos to share.

So, cook up a pound of bacon, grab a Coors and enjoy. We hope to see you and your friends next year.
