Tucked along the Wabash River in the historic small town of Delphi, the Indiana Bacon Festival turns Carroll County’s downtown square into a savory celebration of everything bacon lovers crave. Now in its 13th year, this one-day event built around the theme of “Bacon, Bands & Brew” draws food lovers, music fans, and families from across the Midwest for a Saturday that smells as good as it sounds.
Food vendors fire up inventive bacon infused dishes, from the classic and crispy to the genuinely unexpected, while a lively brew garden pours Indiana craft beer and wine. The Big Bacon Stage keeps the energy high with local bands and crowd-favorite tribute acts, and competitive fun runs all day through the Bacon Eating Contest and Backyard Barbecue Cookoff. Families settle in at the KidsZone, and proceeds support local nonprofits.
Set against a backdrop of a stately courthouse, charming shops, and nearby canal history, it is a delicious reason to spend a day in west-central Indiana.
