There’s A Great Big Cheese Festival Coming To Maine And It Looks As Delicious At It Sounds

When it comes to culinary festivals and events in Maine, we’re often relegated to the same old thing. Lobster, seafood and…lobster. Not that we’re complaining. When you’ve got access to as much good seafood as we do, you have to celebrate it. But, every once in a while it’s nice to give some other foods a little bit of attention. To that end, consider attending this years 3rd annual Maine Cheese Festival!

If this photo makes your mouth water, you're going to want to make sure you attend the best cheese event in Maine.

This event is one of the most unique in Maine and it celebrates an industry in danger of losing support by the state. Come and support local Maine businesses AND enjoy a day of samples!
