CheeseFest 2026 - Rundle Park Adelaide
About this Event
CheeseFest is Australia’s biggest and most delicious celebration of all things cheese. Since 2005, we've been bringing the best of South Australia’s artisan cheesemakers, food producers, winemakers, distillers, and brewers together in the stunning parks of the Adelaide CBD.
Expect more cheese than you can handle (yes thats a challenge*), alongside live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, cheese themed experiences, and even more cheese as we usher in Spring in a beautiful outdoor setting with friends, family and food.
*18 tonnes of cheese were devoured in 2025…
