About

Green County Cheese Days is a biennial food festival in Monroe celebrating Swiss heritage and local dairy traditions. Held on the third weekend of September in even-numbered years, our gathering began in 1914 and centers around the historic Green County Courthouse square. Our grounds feature cheese factory sampling tents, local varieties like Colby and sharp cheddar, and fried cheese curds. Stands offer regional foods alongside beer, drinks, and food trucks throughout the weekend. The festival schedule includes live bands, traditional music and dancing, carnival rides, and craft vendors, culminating in the Swiss Colony Cheese Days Parade on Sunday.

This event happened every 2 years, I missed 2024, but flew back for the 2026. They have the best cheese curds, the wait is worth it. Had some really good bands this year. We didnt let the rain stop us from hanging out all weekend. Don't forget to find a good watching spot for the Sunday parade.

It's raining and it's open! The vendors fantastic, the lines are well organized, and the foods/ drinks are amazing (and worth a little rain!)

Cheese Fest has a special place in my heart that is usually reserved for loved ones. Tasty cheeses await you, along with food trucks of all kinds, tasty drinks, live music, and dancing. There's carnival rides, crafts, and local shops that keep the doors open through all of it. If you're a cheese lover, this is a no-brainer. Just remember to bring a cooler so you can take some of this home with you!

Awesome unique event! We're hoping to go next year. We're in South Carolina so it's about 1500 miles! GO AT LEAST ONCE!
