Mission: To impact the most young people possible, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Tickets for the 13th annual Dairy State Cheese & Beer Festival are on sale now.

The fest normally occurs in April of each year and had to be cancelled in 2020 and the spring of 2021. After a year and a half break, the fest will finally be held on Saturday, Oct. 16 at the Parkway Chateau from 1 to 5 p.m. VIP entry will start at noon. All proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha.

“The Dairy State Cheese & Beer Festival committee is excited to bring this event back after a year and a half break,” BGCK CEO, Tara Panasewicz said. “We are working hard to make the event happen and are looking forward to a great turnout. The youth of Kenosha will benefit from proceeds raised at this event.”

The festival typically draws over 900 attendees and features over 100 different styles of beer, a home brew competition, local breweries, live music and, of course, unlimited beer and cheese samples. Boys & Toys will headline the event and play in the Parkway Chateau.

Unique to the fest is the elaborate VIP ticket package. For $75, VIP fest goers will receive a lunch buffet courtesy of Festival Foods, specialty cheese and beers, a VIP beer stein and an extra hour of festing. The food buffet is available for the duration of the fest from noon to 5 p.m.

General admission tickets are $50 in advance and $55 at the door. All tickets include a commemorative glass, live music and four hours of unlimited beer and cheese samples. Designated driver tickets are $15. This is a 21+ only event.
