Get in the car, we’re going to Raleigh’s Grilled Cheese Festival!
What’s better than a grilled cheese sandwich? A grilled cheese festival, of course! Where is it and when does it take place? Check here for all the details.
Who doesn’t like a grilled cheese sandwich? Even the lactose intolerant and vegans find ways to make their own versions of the delicious and gooey sandwich. What better way to celebrate the best sandwich in the world than by giving it its own festival?
But does such a thing exist? It does and it’s in Raleigh, NC! On Saturday, May 2, 2020, you can eat all the grilled cheese you can fit in your stomach. There will be samples of all different kinds so you don’t have to worry about getting sick of eating one flavor over and over again.

The VIP tickets offer everything the general admission tickets do plus early entry, four drink tickets, and one extra raffle ticket. VIP tickets are $50 and are only for those 21 and up. You can eat grilled cheese to your heart’s content from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. VIPs can get in at 12 p.m.
