November 23, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next Kingaroy BaconFest will be held in August 2027 after a decision by the volunteer committee to make it a biennial event.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said the decision had been made in consultation with all committee members, naming rights sponsor SunPork Fresh Foods and other key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

“The iconic festival has been run by a committee of passionate volunteers since inception in 2018,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Our committee collectively spend thousands of hours each year planning, co-ordinating and delivering the festival for the community.<\/p>\n

“The success of this year\u2019s event, including a new location, new events and presenting a national headline artist, has placed the festival in a positive position to plan for a very bright future.<\/p>\n

“The economic landscape has changed over the years, as has cost-of-living pressures that affect our sponsors and valued visitors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The current economic climate also exposes the festival to rising costs.<\/p>\n

“Our committee believes running BaconFest every two years is the best move forward to ensure the event remains a sustainable, quality festival for many years to come.<\/p>\n

“Kingaroy BaconFest wishes to recognise the extraordinary dedication and effort our volunteers (both past and present) put in every year to make this event happen.<\/p>\n

“We want to ensure that volunteers who pour their passion, energy and professional skills into this festival, can continue to be involved without fear of burn-out.<\/p>\n

“As a recognised and extremely popular event on the Queensland festival calendar, the committee plans to keep working to deliver a quality event that the South Burnett region can be extremely proud of. Our committee loves this event and all it brings to our South Burnett community.”<\/p>\n

NB. BaconFest has been held every year since 2018 except 2020 and 2021 when it was forced to be cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
