Celebrate The Importance of Buying 100% Australian Pork Products

The first bacon festival in Kingaroy was held in 2018, capturing Australia’s imagination with a festival that celebrates one of our nation’s favourite foods. BaconFest highlights the importance of buying 100% Australian pork products.

More than 15,000 people are expected to attend this year’s annual celebration, which will be held from August 20th to 22nd. After last year’s virtual event, the Kingaroy Bacon Festival can now be held in person and will be a Covid-safe event.

SunPork Fresh Foods are a major sponsor of the BaconFest in Kingaroy, contributing $35,000 to this year’s event. They are also providing meat for the Long Table breakfast and the Wine & Swine event, along with around 100kg of bacon.
