Have you tried chocolate covered bacon? How about bacon crème brulee?
If you attend the annual Baconfest at The Horses @ Evergreen Park in Grande Prairie chances are one of those items, or some intriguing other bacon-fused concoction, will be on the menu.
Baconfest, put on by Evergreen Park staff, is held annually during the summer horse racing season at the Park.
It is a fund-raiser to help the County of Grande Prairie Firefighters Charitable Foundation in their community benevolent activities.
A portion of profits from the sale of items created by Evergreen Park chefs, and potentially others, go towards the cause. A 50/50 is held during the day with those proceeds also contributing to the County firefighters charitable foundation.
The 2026 Baconfest is being held on Sunday, July 12. The Horses @ Evergreen Park goes July 5 to August 23 every Saturday and Sunday.
