PA Bacon Fest — Attraction in Easton

This is a massive undertaking requiring much organizational skill. Unique food vendors with a large variety. The music is decent, especially The School of Rock. Plenty of trash receptacles and streets are clean, considering the hoards of people, eating. HOWEVER - this was our first & last visit. $20 to park! Skip that, and if you don't mind walking, find street parking. We're in our 70's but noticed this is not kid friendly and would not recommend it to families with small children. One couple was reduced to changing their baby's poopy diaper in the middle of the sidewalk...not only is this dirty and dangerous, it was where people were eating.

I don't feel slimy hand sanitizer good enough when eating food - plus the residue gets on hand held goodies. The one place allowing folks to use indoor bathrooms was allowing women to use the men's room...some men would still like modesty to be acknowledged. We travel nearly 2 1/2 hours one way. We will not be...

It was a bit sad to know, that so many pigs had to die for this festival. But alot of people did come out to support it and there was a live a band as well. Though I am TNR with aspca. This festival was bitter sweet. And alot of people did attend and enjoyed it. I stayed 10 minutes to take pics and left. As eerie as it was. I still...
