A look back at 2025
The 2025 Cheese Festival ran on Saturday, April 12, from 9 am to 3 pm at Hassen Arena, with the market, music, and food. Admission was $5 at the door, with children under 12 free and cash preferred.
The 2025 Big Cheese Festival brought together producers, processors, chefs, buyers, and food lovers from across the region for a celebration of local flavours. The Public Market at Hassen Arena hosted artisan vendors. Workshops at Oddfellows Hall covered everything from pairings to fermentation. The Ambassador’s Dinner sold out quickly, as it does every year.
