Grilled Cheese Gooey-ness Fills Pottstown in October

Grilled Cheese Gooey-ness Fills Pottstown in October

Grilled Cheese Gooey-ness Fills Pottstown in October

POTTSTOWN PA – Ten grilled cheese sandwich competitors. More than a dozen vendors, featuring everything from craft beers and tasty ice cream, to hand-made goods and charitable causes. Fun activities for adults and kids. All are lined up so far (subject to change) for the 2023 edition of Cheesetoberfest in Pottstown.

And here’s the delightfully cheesy part: it’s possible more will join.

The event, a competition to crown the year’s best creator of a grilled cheese treat, benefits the TriCounty Active Adult Center at 288 Moser Rd. Ste 1. It’s scheduled to be held Oct. 21 (Saturday) from noon to 3 p.m. NOTE: The event has moved due to inclement weather from Riverfront Park to the center, 288 Moser Rd., Pottstown PA

Tickets available online now

Tickets are available for online purchase, but only until Oct. 19 (Thursday). Ticket sales are limited because this is a competitive event in which patrons vote for their favorites. Remaining tickets may (or may not) be offered at the gate. They cost $25 for adults, and $10 for children age 12 and younger (but kids need tickets only if they plan to sample the sandwiches).

Each ticket allows the bearer “to taste one grilled cheese sample from each of the competitors, stroll the grounds, shop the vendors, visit the beer tent, relax, and enjoy live music performed by the Neo Trio. Each ticket includes either a free beer or a free ice cream, too. Be aware: the event will be held “rain or shine. Sorry, no refunds,” organizers said.

Competitor grills will be occupied by Cafe 288 at the TRAAC, Our Path, Grumpy’s Handcarved Sandwiches, 3rd & Spruce Drafthaus, Bause Catering, Schaeffer’s Catering, Cafe 288 (Team 2), Willow Creek Brewing, Phoenixville Senior Center, and Hannah & Susie’s Cheesy Nut Hut.
