In late August 2026, the fast-food chain Bob’s launched the ‘Festival do Bacon’ in Brazil to celebrate International Bacon Day. The promotion, running from August 28 to August 31, offered discounts of up to 20% on specific sandwiches and sides through the company’s official app.

On August 31, International Bacon Day, culinary celebrations continued across São Paulo, with various establishments offering themed menus. Concurrently, discussions emerged regarding meat consumption and plant-based alternatives, as the holiday coincided with Meatless Monday. Culinary experts highlighted techniques for optimal bacon preparation while suggesting ways to replicate smoky, umami flavors in vegetarian cooking using ingredients like mushrooms and tofu.
