What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's structure keeps general admission free while reserving its central attraction, paired bacon dishes and bourbon tastings, for holders of a separate Hungry Hog tasting package priced across several tiers

02

The mystery stays covered

That split lets casual visitors enjoy River Run Village's live music and atmosphere without committing to the food-and-drink pairing, while dedicated attendees pay for the fuller tasting experience

03

The city starts moving

Camp Bacon, staffed with vendors like The Frosted Flamingo for pig-themed children's crafts, and a feature called the Cave of Confusion round out programming aimed at keeping the event accessible to families despite its adult-oriented core theme

04

The water draws everyone in

Fifteen consecutive annual editions by 2026 suggest the bacon-and-bourbon pairing has found a durable niche audience at the Colorado mountain resort
