“Join for an afternoon where it’s all about cheese,” organizers wrote. “Taste it. Pair it. Crack it. Meet the animals that give it to us. Discover how it’s made the old-fashioned way.”

The Watchung Mountain Riders will provide music. Hoboken Brewery, Montclair Brewery and Ironbound Cider are among the vendors.

Cheesefest 2019 is presented by the Montclair History Center, Montclair Center and the Rutgers Cooperative 4-H Program.
