2026 Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival

Ellsworth’s Cheese Curd Festival celebrates the town’s designation as the Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin. Their very own Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery creates the tasty white morsels, which have earned world-wide acclaim.

Admission to the festival is free. Enjoy the wide variety of cheese curd dishes, fresh hand-battered, deep-fried cheese curds and dipping sauces, and an exclusive top-secret dessert curd that rivals the mini donut!

Several unique tasting experiences offer fun and unique sampling opportunities for the entire family. When you’ve had your fill of food, sit back and enjoy an eclectic mix of music or browse the festival market.

The Cheese Curd Eating Contest is great fun and keeps spectators on the edge of their seats!
