Don’t pack away your holiday fat pants just yet, Milwaukee’s fourth-annual Baconfest MKE will be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 15 at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino’s Event Center.
Appropriately, the event is hosted by 102.9 THE HOG.
Attendees will have the chance to chomp on bacon-filled creations from local chefs. Although it's not an "all you can eat" feast, the website guarantees "there will be plenty to fill your belly."
There will also be a cash bar serving beer, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. Piglets, I mean kids, are welcome to attend with a parent or legal guardian.
Tickets for the event are $35 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 9. The price includes $15 in casino play and a 2015 Baconfest MKE T-shirt. There is a maximum capacity of 2,500 attendees. Purchase tickets here.
