Answered my own question:

February, 2012 (the 12 of Rabi al-Awwal).

The Islamic calendar is a 12 month lunar calendar meaning that all months move progressively earlier year by year relative to the Gregorian. So the date for a baconfest will be in January of 2013, December of 2014, etc.

How nice of them to keep it out of Catholic/Orthodox fasting seasons for the next couple of years!
