If fall had a soundtrack, it would probably be the sound of bacon sizzling in a skillet. And if fall had a destination? It would definitely be Easton, PA on November 1–2 for the annual PA Bacon Fest—a food festival so legendary, it turns a small city into a crispy, smoky paradise for one whole weekend.
What to Expect
Picture this: over 150 vendors, each finding new and inventive ways to put bacon into (and on top of) everything. We’re talking bacon-topped donuts, bacon mac ‘n’ cheese, bacon-wrapped scallops, bacon Bloody Marys, and desserts that’ll leave you swearing bacon belongs in sweets, too. Add in live music, craft beer, family-friendly activities, and street performers, and it’s a full-on block party built around the best food group ever invented.
This isn’t just a food fest—it’s a celebration of comfort and community. Everyone is laughing, eating, and walking through the crisp November air with a bacon snack in hand. It’s the kind of event where strangers bond over crispy edges and smoky bites.
Make It a Fall Weekend to Remember
Easton is just a couple of hours from Pittsburgh, which makes it a perfect road trip if you’re craving an autumn escape. Drive through tree-lined highways where the leaves are still glowing in golds and reds, stop at an orchard for hot cider, and then roll right into town ready to eat your weight in bacon.
