BaconBurgh is Pittsburgh’s celebration of all things bacon. The festival has food, arts, live music, a mechanical pig, and the @oscarmayer Wienermobile. 2026 was the second year for the BaconBurgh festival held in Southside Works, and it was an incredible success. This is a recap of this year’s food vendors, live music, I Made It Market Vendors, how the mechanical pig supports school children via A+ Schools, and a peek inside the Wienermobile with an interview with the Hotdoggers who get to take it around the country.
