Dad's Garage Theatre Announces Date and New Location for 14th Annual Baconfest

What you thought was lost, has now been found! Defying bulldozers,
hardhats and cement trucks, the wildly popular BaconFest will rise from the
dirt mountain of its former home and descend upon the Masquerade Music Park
on Saturday, March 29, 2014 from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. Sponsored
by MailChimp, BaconFest will again benefiting Dad’s Garage Theatre Company, who
recently found itself without a permanent home of its own and is currently
producing shows at neighboring 7 Stages Theatre in Little Five Points, until
they find their forever home. Utilizing the extra space that Masquerade affords
the event, BaconFesters can expect a triple helping of everything during the
14th annual event.  That means more bacon, more beer, more music,
more booths, more entertainment, an expansive and extravagant silent
auction and, as always... more schenanigans. Selling out every year, all
proceeds benefit Dad’s Garage Theatre Company, a nonprofit theatre group that
engages, cultivates and inspires artists and audiences alike by producing
innovative, scripted and improvised works that are recognized locally,
nationally and internationally for being undeniably awesome. Tickets start at
$25 and are on sale now at www.dadsgarage.com for
ages 21 and up.

Founded in 2000, the kitschy festival has become a fixture in the
Atlanta community by combining troughs upon troughs of cold beer and
sizzlin' bacon with live performances by favorite local bands; hilarious
carnival games manned by the best improvisers in the city; and unforgettable
entertainment like a drunken spelling bee, crowning of bacon king and queen,
and more. Also returning to BaconFest this year is the “Go Whole Hog!” VIP
ticket option that gives festival goers exclusive access to a whole pig, this
year roasted by the critically acclaimed BBQ masters at Bone Lick
BBQ and delicious specialty
brews. Additionally, local businesses like Mary Todd
Hairdressing Company, Atlanta
Rollergirls, Whynatte, The Vortex Bar & Grill, Pallookaville Fine
Foods and Diesel Filling
Station have jumped on board to provide tastings and special
offerings for attendees. More details about this year’s bands, games and
partners to be announced in the coming weeks.

About Dad’s Garage Theatre Company: 
Founded
in 1995, Dad's Garage Theatre Company has grown from a small volunteer led
organization to a thriving mid-size theatre led by professional artistic and
administrative staff that includes over 300 volunteers and performers. In
2013, Dad’s Garage which had entertained more than 30,000 people at their
two-theatre facility in Inman Park, was forced to look for a new home as a
result of development in the area. Temporarily staying at neighboring 7 Stages
Theatre in Little Five Points, the Theatre continues to produce its own
productions in addition to public events across Atlanta and the state, and at
improv festivals across the continent. In addition to outrageous original
productions, Dad’s Garage is currently searching for its new home in and around
the Inman Park and Little Five Points area of Atlanta, with the hopes of
announcing the new location in 2014.  For more information, visit Dad's
