BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., Aug. 21, 2026 — It’s back! A Breckenridge tradition, Hogfest: Bacon and Bourbon returns Aug. 28–30, 2026, taking over Main Street Station and The Village at Breckenridge.
Presented by Sazerac and Weller, the weekend centers around the Bacon and Bourbon Grand Tasting on Saturday, Aug. 29, from 2 to 6 p.m. Ticketholders can sample a huge lineup of barrel-aged spirits, snag yummy bacon samples (while supplies last!), and learn directly from industry experts. Brand representatives will be on hand throughout the afternoon to offer insights into production, aging, flavor profiles, and the craft behind the bottles.
The event features live music with Grass It Up performing at Main Street Station and DJ NME1 bringing the beats to The Village. Attendees can purchase pork-inspired dishes and local eats from Colorado food vendors, while the festival marketplace highlights regional artists, retailers, and small businesses.
VIP guests get access to a more in-depth tasting experience, including early access to the Grand Tasting, the indoor VIP Lounge at Sauce on the Maggie, a fully catered food buffet, and premium selections not available at the festival booths.
The All-Access pass covers the complete three-day package. Festivities kick off Friday night at Sauce on the Maggie with an exclusive multi-course pairing dinner presented by Weller. Executive Chef Michael Irwin leads the menu, while Sazerac Regional On-Premise Manager Whitney Krystof guides guests through the pours. The pass also includes Saturday’s VIP Grand Tasting and Sunday’s Bacon and Bloodies Brunch.
