EVENT DESCRIPTION

Every year, attendees at the Maine Cheese Festival celebrate the vast array of artisanal cheeses made by Maine cheesemakers. Last year, over 1300 attendees enjoyed cheese, music, educational demonstrations,  food trucks, wine and cider vendors, and a vast array of cheese-supportive vendors that would allow any participant to make  their own outstanding charcuterie board. Beautiful Manson Park in Pittsfield, right on the banks of the Sebasticook River, allowed families and friends to stroll and enjoy the many vendors as well as relaxing in the beer garden or enjoying the chance to pet a calf.

This is a rain or shine event.  Tickets will not be available at the gate – be sure to purchase yours ahead of time!  Early Birds get an extra hour in the morning.  Kids under 10 are free, but if you feel compelled to donate a few dollars, there’s a “ticket” for that! This is the primary fundraiser for the Maine Cheese Guild, and your tickets go directly to supporting Maine food and Maine farmers.  Get your ticket(s) here.

There are varying levels of ticketing, starting at $27.00
