Porkelicious isn't a word, but if it were, it would be the perfect way to describe Atlanta's BaconFest 2016.

If you've never seen 2,500 pounds of bacon, or just want to celebrate pork perfection with beer and games, head to the 16th annual event, put on by the crazy folks at Dad's Garage Theatre Company, a non-profit group that produces original performances of both scripted plays and improv shows.

Entertainment in the past has included a kiss-less kissing booth (with a layer of plastic wrap between the participants' mouths), a Victorian phone sex station, an insulting booth, a fortune-teller and plenty of other zany games.

A ticket to BaconFest is a ticket to a day of wacky entertainment and the chance to fill your belly with bacon and beer, but don't bring the youngsters. The event is for 21 years and older.

The proceeds help Dad's Garage to produce more fun performances throughout the year.
