This is great! We love to hear all about your Bacon Day Parties and this year is no different. So here is the List Thus Far; we'll try to keep it up to date as people write in.
1. In Australia - I think we might be the first (one in Newcastle and possibly one in Sydney unless there are more that I don't know about), thanks to our location to the date line, but let us know if you think you might beat us... Any Kiwis out there celebrating?
2. Boulder CO - There are a couple, but one of them is going to be a week late due to a grant review. It's a shame when things like a real job get in the way of Bacon. (I've also heard that Tee and Cakes might be doing something, so more when I learn more.)
3. Chicago IL - Two of the Bacon Boys, Seth and Evan, will be doing an interview with Nick Digilio on WGN They do stream live, so listen in. The Boys should be on at around 10:30 CT (so that's GMT -5:00).
4. The Netherlands - And this sounds like it is going to be a BIG one! I can't wait to hear more about what Reinout has planned.
5. Santa Barbara CA - Of course we can't forget our good friends at the Royal Bacon Society With out them, I doubt that Bacon Day would be any where as close to big as it seems to have gotten.
6. The Tampa Tribune FL - They are going to share photos with us hopefully! We need photos for the photo of the week if you haven't noticed. I've made sure to invite all my photography buddies hoping that they'll let us use a few, all for the good of bacon of course.
7. Boston MA - Seth just moved there, like Mon. So if you are in the city and smell bacon cooking, stop by and say "Hi, is this Bacon Day?" You might get a strange look, but I'd love to hear about his reaction!
8. Philadelphia PA - Social knitworking is doing a Drunken Bacon Podcast Brunch.
9. Assuming Toronto - They did put us in the article.
10. Grinnell IA - A good friend of ours.
11. Portland OR - The 1st International Bacon Boy day of Art and Bacon Festival
12. LA CA - Sixteen Degrees of Craving Bacon - I bet they are throwing a party...
Any that we have missed?
Enjoy,
Alexa and the Bacon Boys

Bacon Day is held on the Saturday before Labor Day US (the first Monday of Sep.). This year that is the 5th of September. Last year Bacon Day was celebrated in the US, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Switzerland, and the UK. Lets see how many more countries we can add to the list this year!
Welcome to International Bacon Day.
Welcome to International Bacon Day
Bacon Day is open to everyone. Vegetarians can have fake-con (soy bacon) and religious objectors non-pork bacon (I suggest turkey bacon).Bacon Day is a day of Bacon... think Iron Chef but all day and the secret ingredient is Bacon. Breakfast traditionally consists of bacon waffles, with a side of bacon, and any other concoctions thought up. Throughout the day there are showings of Kevin Bacon movies and any other movies with leading roles given to pigs, e.g. Babe, Piglet's Big Adventure. Lunch must have BLTs and there are snacks around and slices of bacon everywhere. Dinner is a fight for your food quite literally. It is more a tasting of all things bacon and everyone wants a taste. Due to the vast quantities of bacon cooked, the grill outside is the best bet. If you are invited to a Bacon Day celebration, it is traditional to bring something to eat (of course containing bacon) which can be made there if the host allows, and drink (which may or may not include bacon).
The creator of Bacon Day is Seth. His friends helped put together the logistics (a BIG thanks to Evan and Brandon and possibly me Alexa:) ) and as we are starting to all move on from our grad student days, we plan to bring bacon day with us. This blog is to help spread, coordinate future bacon days, and share. The first Annual Bacon Day was held in 2005.
If you have any questions or want to hear the full story about Bacon Day and how it was created, feel free to email us at international.bacon.day at gmail dot com.
Enjoy

I will host a celebration of Bacon Day in Czech Republic. I will host a celebration in Plsen, CZ, birthplace of pilsner style of beer, aka lager. I will be in Plsen this weekend for Plse Fest, Pilsner Urquells annual beer festival.

Thanks for the comment. The one that I deleted I deleted because of the swearing. If you don't like bacon or us talking about or celebrating bacon that's fine. Leave a comment, but please don't swear, we prefer not to have that type of language on this blog.
Again the Czech Republic, that's great, I can only imagine the great pairing of Pilsner and Bacon in dishes. Enjoy the celebrations.
Okay, no swearing as I'm sure you only speak nice, proper clean words. Prude.
Bacon Day and all of this idiotic, moronic bacon-craze crap is tiresome, tedious and a media-fueled trend that sheeple like you are jumping on because you can't think of your own dumb food-trend.
Bacon isn't that great. People like you didn't even bother with it until you read about it in another dumb blog or in a different foodie-trendy article.
But now, OH MAN DO I LOVE BACON! HA HA! I'M ALL ABOUT BACON! CHECK ME OUT! BACON! I THINK I INVENTED IT! I AM A CLEVER, CLEVER BACON BLOGGER!
