Arizona Brewers descend on Founders Park for Bacon, Blues, and Brews; November 3rd.
QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. - Expect cold brews, soulful tunes and sizzling bacon in spades when Queen Creek's Bacon, Blues & Brews festival returns to town this fall.
Slated for 12 p.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 at Founders Park (22407 S Ellsworth Road), the 4th edition of the family-friendly festival promises performances by the likes of Calvin Jones, Aunt B, Moonshine Voodoo Band and Big Daddy D and the Dynamites, among others. A plentiful assortment of seasonal and other craft beer, wine, cider, mead and spirit options is also up for grabs, while festival organizers and local restaurants and food trucks are bringing the bacon in the form of bacon burritos, bacon nachos, bacon fudge, bacon churros, bacon tacos and bacon-wrapped chocolate and jalapenos, among other indulgent offerings. In addition, the festival will serve up plenty of pork products and a few non bacon delights.
New this year is a Wild Boar Backyard Games area and a Hog Wild Bacon Tasting Zone serving up bacon flights, Jack Daniels and Deep Eddy drinks and other libations. A Little Piggy Pig Pen Zone will keep kids entertained, giving guests a spot to corral the kiddos and let them burn some energy before it's time to sample more swine.
"When you have this much bacon and beer in one place, you can't help but draw crowds," said Kris Gale, East Valley Firefighter Charities. "With people coming from further and further away each year, we wanted to add even more opportunities and accommodations for all age groups."
As in previous years, a portion of the proceeds from Bacon, Blues & Brews will benefit East Valley Firefighters Charities. We have been able to raise thousands of dollars for the firefighter charities in the past so come out to Queen Creek this November and enjoy sultry sounds, seasonal brews and a seemingly endless supply of bacon while supporting a great cause. Tickets available for purchase at BaconBluesandBrewsAZ.com, and children 12 and under are free with a paid adult. Hungry for more? Check out BaconBluesandBrewsAZ.com.
