Chattanooga Bacon & Barrel returns Sept. 27, from 6-9 p.m., at the First Horizon Pavilion at 1826 Reggie White Blvd.
The festival brings together bacon-loving local restaurants and an array of barrel-aged spirits to savor an evening of bacon, BBQ, and all the good things that come from old oak barrels.
Participating restaurants compete with samples of their best savory and sweet bacon-infused dishes. Attendees taste and vote for their favorite while listening to live bluegrass music, chatting with distillers, and sipping fine bourbons, whiskeys, and more. At the night's end, one restaurant will be awarded “The Golden Hog.”
The #Chattbaconandbarrel restaurant lineup includes 423 Taco, Amada Tapas & Wine, Bar & Billiards Room at the Read House, Common House, Kinley Chattanooga, Mexiville, Naked River Brewing, Puckett’s, Southside Social, The Edwin Hotell, Whiskey Cowgirl, and more to be announced.
Produced with community engagement in mind, Chattanooga Bacon & Barrel benefits the Chattanooga Market.
Tickets include entry to the fest, unlimited samples of signature bacon-themed dishes, and 12 whiskey samples, plus live bluegrass music, fun photo ops, and more. This is a 21+ only event. Attendees must show a valid ID and tickets upon entry.
