Atlanta’s Cheesiest Event is Back for a 5th Year

by | Sep 18, 2017 | Events

I’m going to be honest with you: Cheese is a core part of my diet. Whether its dipping a gooey grilled cheese into a cup of tomato soup or snacking on a cheese board while sipping on some wine, I just can’t get enough! So when I first heard about The Cheese Fest three years ago (back then it was called Atlanta Cheese Festival) I knew this was an event I would easily fall in love with.

The Cheese Fest is back for its fifth year and I wouldn’t miss it for the world! (I’m actually judging this year, which is pretty much a dream come true haha.) This year’s event is on Saturday, September 23 from 1-8 pm at Historic Fourth Ward Park! The new venue will make for a bigger and better event!

So what is The Cheese Fest? Well its everything you’d expect – and more. Each ticket gets you unlimited samples of 500+ different kinds of cheese, live music and access to the Macdown/Meltown competition, which is one of my favorite parts of the event! Restaurants compete for the best mac n cheese and grilled cheese – and you get to taste them and vote. Love one of the cheese samples you try? You can buy it onsite at the cheese shop!

VIP tickets include a beer, wine or champagne pairing class. But cash bars will be available for general admission ticket holders, too.
