Ricki Carroll (The Cheese Queen) at the Festival of Cheeses in 2015. This used to be the last event at the annual American Cheese Society Conference.
This list is brought to you by cheesemaking.com with our best wishes for a happy time!
There’s nothing more fun than a cheese festival, with awesome cheeses to sample and new friends to be made. We want to be sure you know where they are in time to make your plans.
Sarah Carroll, Mark Chrabascz and their daughter, Jocelyn, at a cheese tasting. Sarah and Mark own and manage our business, New England Cheesemaking Supply Company. This list was Sarah’s idea, so if you run into her at one of these festivals, you can thank her for the heads up!
For festival promoters:
The American Cheese Society has posted a Cheese Festival Planning Guide which we think has everything you need to know to plan your own festival.
How to add your event to this list:
If you are hosting an event or know of one we haven’t listed, be sure to send your information to jeri@cheesemaking.com. (We can’t list every food event, so we limit it to the ones with our favorite word – “cheese” in the name.)
