Bacon & Beer Festival

High Hopes Foundation is excited to announce that the 6th annual Bacon & Beer Festival will return to Merrimack NH during the new date of June 4, 2022! For more than 35 years, High Hopes Foundation has provided life-enhancing experiences to New Hampshire’s terminally and chronically ill children. Bacon & Beer is our primary fundraiser, celebrating greasy, fatty, savory bacon alongside the endless possibilities of well-crafted brews.

Despite significant staffing and supply challenges caused by the continuing COVID pandemic, our 5th festival in September 2021 raised the most money ever — more than $165,000 — so thank you for everyone’s support and flexibility! This year we are on track for our biggest event yet: 50 craft brewers (120+ brew options) and 20+ bacon samples. We hope you will join us!

Great brews, awesome bacon dishes and live music will make for a perfect day of fun! We all need a little hope for the future, so thank you for your continued support of High Hopes Foundation and helping us make the dreams of New Hampshire children come alive!
