Iowa is famous for a couple of things, including our beautiful country scenery, rolling Loess Hills, gorgeous river views – oh, and pork. You won’t find better pork anywhere in the country! That means, of course, that we’re home to some of the best bacon around, too. Try some for yourself at the biggest bacon festival in Iowa.
For the 13th year in a row, the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Iowa is taking over Des Moines.
