THIS IS A 21 AND OVER EVENT. Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival returns to the Iowa Events Center on Saturday, February 20, 2016 with ticket available at www.blueribbonbaconfestival.com on Thursday, Dec. 10. A limited number of general admission and early entry tickets will be made available during a Pre-Sale prior to the 12/10 online sale date. Beginning on December 1, bacon-lovers can speed-walk (or drive) to their Greater Des Moines or Ames Hy-Vee Store and buy tickets along with the purchase of bacon (not required, but highly encouraged). Every year, the celebration adopts a wacky theme for attendees, restaurants and sponsors to embrace. From Baconmania VIII’s wrestling vibe to Viva Las Bacon’s tribute to old Vegas, everyone gets a little goofy to take part in the bacon madness. This year's upcoming event will promote a healthy bacon lifestyle by incorporating 1980's aerobic fitness into the culture of bacon fellowship. So, dust off your thigh masters, put a Richard Simmons video in your VCR and start sweatin' to the sizzle with "Body by Bacon".
