The annual Reykjavik Bacon Festival will be taking place for the fifth time tomorrow in Reykjavik, on Saturday August 15th on central Skólavörðustígur. The slogan for the festival is Bacon for everyone, bacon makes your life better.
The festival, which takes place between 2 and 5 pm offers a variety of bacon inspired dishes from Reykjavik restaurants, beverages supplied by Vífilfell and performances from Vox Feminae, Kveinstafir and more.
A ticket for food at the festival costs 350 ISK for one dish and 100 ISK for one beverage. All proceeds from the festival, which is set up by volunteers, go to charity. In the last years the funds raised have gone to the National Children's Hospital, the National University Hospital Heartward and Umhyggja, an association for children with long term illnesses.
The Reykjavik Bacon Festival is the sister festival of the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, the largest of its kind, which takes place in Iowa in the US each year.
