The Little Falls Cheese Festival has announced Saturday, October 3 as the date for this year’s Cheese Festival. The festival takes place along Main Street from 10 am to 5 pm, featuring New York State cheese-makers, gourmet foods, craft beverages, live music, and plenty of delicious reasons to bring friends and family along.
“Little Falls has a cheesemaking history that dates back to the 19th century, and we’ve made history every year with the wonderful popularity of our festival,” said Teri Chace of the Festival’s planning committee. “We’re grateful for the past enthusiastic support and are excited to welcome visitors and
neighbors back downtown for a lively day of delicious food and a fun, relaxed atmosphere.”
The festival “is a unique culinary adventure,” added Chace. It will feature a wide variety of New York farm-produced cheeses, from hard cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, and Havarti to soft cheeses, goat cheeses, cheese curds, yogurts, butter, and more.
New this year will be ticketed, guided cheese tastings led by The Cheese Traveler of Albany, NY. Guests can also enjoy New York-based gourmet foods and craft beverage vendors, local entertainment, and musical acts along Main Street. A variety of food trucks as well as local restaurants and pubs will offer snacks, meals, and beverages.
Free shuttle buses (more and universally accessible ones have been added this year) will make parking and getting to the festival easier.
The Little Falls Cheese Festival is New York State’s premier gathering of cheesemakers, drawing thousands to downtown Little Falls each year. Admission, parking, and shuttle buses are all free.
