The Touring 'Bacon and Beer Classic' Comes to Citi Field on July 26th

Bacon! Okay, if that didn’t grab your attention: Beer! On July 26th, Citi Field will host the Bacon and Beer Classic, a pork-and-suds celebration that will bring thousands of consumers and dozens of vendors, including Oliver’s Astoria, to the Flushing ballpark. Part of a first-ever moving feast hosted inside Major League baseball stadiums throughout the U.S., this two-session extravaganza will feature bacon-inspired cuisine and libation as well as craft brews, live music, cooking demonstrations, interactive games and the chance to hang out in a bullpen. Though roughly a month away, it’s not too late to buy tickets or sign up as a vendor. (The inaugural Bacon and Beer Classic took place at Safeco Field in Seattle on May 17. After Queens, the pigs fly to Houston.)

Details: Bacon and Beer Classic, Citi Field, 123-01 Roosevelt Avenue, Flushing, July 26th, brunch session is noon to 3 pm, evening session is 7 pm to 10 pm, VIP sessions begin one hour before, $39-$129.
