You’ve got the need, the need for cheese!
Get ready for the cheesiest competition in town! The Cheese Haus Palooza is home to the fan-favorite Cheese Curd Eating Contest — and yes, it’s exactly as fun as it sounds. This contest draws cheese lovers from all over Michigan (and beyond) to compete for curd-chomping glory.

No hands allowed!
Contestants must rely only on their mouths as they race to devour 1/4 lb. of delicious, squeaky cheese curds in record time. It’s a test of speed, focus, and a whole lot of dairy devotion.
The energy is contagious, the crowd is roaring, and the cheese? Irresistibly good.

What’s at stake?
- Local fame
- Sweet, cheesy prizes
- Bragging rights until next year
Whether you’re joining the contest or cheering from the sidelines, the Cheese Curd Eating Contest is an unforgettable (and hilarious) highlight of the day.
