Check Out The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour Festival, THIS Weekend in Keystone!

If you are looking for a fun way to spend the weekend, look no further! The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour is back for its 5th year here in Keystone and with every year brings more popularity and additions to this unique summer festival.  Where else can you eat as much bacon as your heart desires in one of Colorado's most beautiful settings!? All weekend long, dance your butt off (or burn off all that bacon?) to free live music from Gypsy Moon, Rob Drabkin, Josh Blackburn , Arthur Lee Land, Hell's Belles and Zoso – The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience. Join in on bacon themed seminars to learn about the many ways to prepare and use bacon, you can even earn a 'Bacon Diploma!'

One tasting ticket gets you one taste- one dish from one of the many vendors at the festival, including some of Keystone's most popular restaurants. The Bacon Bloody Mary Bar is a blast and a great to wash down your meal or try a refreshing cucumber vodka to offset your meat intake with some crisp veggie flavor!
