The 2019 Cheese Curd Festival, taking place June 21 and 22, is positioned to be our biggest and best yet. Thanks to a marketing grant from the Wisconsin De-partment of Tourism, attendance to our 2018 festival was estimated at 30,000. We are expecting to draw a crowd of similar size in 2019, as we continue building the festival’s reputation as a true foodie and music event.

We know you’re going to want to be a part of the excitement! Spon-sorship opportuni-ties are available at five levels, each designed to offer

you the greatest visibility and exposure. De-pending on the level you choose, you have the

opportunity to take advantage of valuable bo-nuses, which allows you to customize your sponsor-

ship and get the greatest benefit for your business.

Here are some of the festival highlights...LARGER FOOTPRINT: The 2019 Festival will expand further into East End, doubling our space. The Fes-tival’s East End location not only provides a cozy and hometown feel consistent with our theme but is also in alignment with the festival mission and goals.

CHEESE CURDS DISHES: Last year we offered more creative cheese curd food options than ever be-fore. We’re looking forward to having our favorite food vendors back at the festival, as well as sev-

eral new vendors offing some of the finest cheese curd infused street foods in the region!

TASTINGS: These events are one of the highlights of the festival. A schedule of tasting experiences will provide opportunities for attendees to engage with the crafters, cooks, and makers of our festival’s starring foods: cheese, craft beer, regional wines, hard ciders, real dairy, and authentic Sconnie BBQ.

MUSIC: Our reputation for quality music is growing. Once again we’ll be bringing great music to the festival with a full line-up of eclectic musical acts performing in a variety of styles on three stages!

ACTIVITIES: While the culinary experiences and mu-sic take center stage, Wisconsin’s deep agricultur-al traditions serve as an attraction for all ages, with tractor-pulled shuttles, a hay bale playland, and family tasting experiences. An open-air market will showcase regional handcrafts and locally made delicacies such as salsa, honey, and maple syrup.
