If the smell of sizzling bacon, the taste of Kentucky bourbon and an ice-cold craft beer sound like the perfect summer weekend, Bacon, Bourbon & Brew Festival has you covered.

The festival is coming to Festival Park, located at Festival E Park Dr. in Newport, from July 17 to 19. 

The festival brings chef-driven dishes featuring bacon-infused bites to bourbon-glazed specialties and beer-inspired eats; every vendor serves up something savory, smoky or spirited (and sometimes all three at once). Pair it all with crafted cocktails, bourbon pours and a wide selection of local and regional brews.

There will be free live music and family-friendly attractions, including inflatable activities for kids, 

Admission is free. The festival is open on July 17 from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., on July 18 from noon to 11 p.m., and on July 19 from noon to 9 p.m.
