Atlanta Cheese Festival Tickets on Sale

Lovers of cheese are encouraged to buy tickets for the annual Atlanta Cheese Festival, which will be held at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in two weeks.

The festival celebrates ”artisan cheese and specialty food producers from across the globe” and helps promote the unique recipes and styles of cheese making by bringing the public unique tastes that they may not have experienced otherwise.

The event runs from 5:30 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 9, and tickets are now on sale. General admission tickets cost $37.50 and include access to the Meltdown, Macdown, Cheese producers, one free drink ticket, and the opportunity to wander the Botanical Garden while taking in copious amounts of cheese.

Parking is available at the Sage Parking Facility, and discounts are offered for cars with four or more people inside, but space is limited and event organizers encourage attendees to take MARTA or Uber to the festival if at all possible.

Proceeds from the festival go to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and The Giving Kitchen, a nonprofit that serves as a crisis center for those employed in Atlanta’s restaurant business.
