If you love cheese, or at least the idea of a cheese-themed
festival, then Pinconning is the place to be Thursday through Sunday.
Michigan's Cheese Capital hosts its 25th annual Cheesetown Challenge
Festival featuring road races, fireworks and daily concerts.The festival is centered around 2- and 5-mile road races, which
usually draw about 700 participants. This year's races step off at 6
p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Saturday. This year, for the first time since the
festival's inception, there will be much more than just racing. An entertainment tent in the park will keep attendees busy with
fun and relaxing activities.
The four-day event kicks off Thursday with a wine and cheese party, featuring the culinary prowess of chef Jim Martini and musical stylings of the Larry McCray Band, a blues group. More music is on tap Friday through Sunday with Steel Wheels taking the stage from 9 p.m. to midnight Friday, Rev. Righttime & Brothers of Funk Band performing from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, and Walt Garbulinski & The Polka Boys set to play from 3-6 p.m. Sunday. Saturday's festivities will conclude with a round of fireworks.
The Cheesetown Parade, which will feature 35-50 floats, will make its way through town in the afternoon.
