The day begins at 7 am with the Shullsburg Fire Department’s Annual Breakfast. From 9 am to 4 pm, it's nonstop fun with the McCoy Library book sale, cheese curd eating contests, juggling shows for the kids, great music, food, wine, and lots of cheese!

Shullsburg is already famous far and wide for its namesake creamery, so it will be no surprise that the town knows how to properly celebrate all things cheese with tastings and viewing events by local cheesemakers. Adding wine tasting, food vendors, arts, and crafts, stage entertainment, live music, and kids' activities mean a fun day for the entire family.

Shullsburg is a neat historic town with fun shops and restaurants to discover and enjoy. Few places pair as well with cheese for a fall festival as this southwest Wisconsin community.
