ambassadors of the live event culture!

ShowBacon provides end-to-end project management for live events, touring productions, festivals, and brand activations. We operate as the connective tissue between creative vision, technical execution, labor, venues, and budgets—ensuring projects move forward cleanly, safely, and on schedule. Our approach blends old-school production discipline with modern tools, clear documentation, and calm decision-making under pressure.

If you need someone who can talk to clients, engineers, unions, creatives, and crews without losing the plot, you’re in the right place.

Production is a team sport. We just make sure everyone’s playing the same game.
