Frederick, MD — Beer, bacon and music have long been essential ingredients for an ideal day, and the upcoming Beer Bacon Music festival in Frederick, Maryland brings them all together in one place for an entire weekend.

Taking place at the Fairgrounds on May 17th and 18th, Beer Bacon Music will provide attendees with 150+ craft beer varieties from which to choose, a 2-ton all-you-can-eat bacon bar including 50+ creative bacon dishes and 1 rockin’ band every hour, on the hour.

“This truly is the first event of its kind, anywhere in the world,” says Kenneth MacFawn, Beer Bacon Music festival owner. “It’s the perfect place for people to celebrate three of life’s greatest pleasures, try new beer in an unintimidating environment, get inspiration for new culinary endeavors, and sample some of the best bands on the east coast.”
