Arthur Amish Country Cheese Festival
Downtown Arthur, Illinois St / Progress St, Arthur, IL
![]()
Arthur sits at the heart of one of Illinois's largest Amish communities, and its Cheese Festival centers on two 300-pound wheels of free cheddar and the International Cheese Curling Championships, where teams throw four-pound cheese wheels at a target. The festival has run for more than thirty-five years and draws tens of thousands over Labor Day weekend. It remains one of the state's odder culinary traditions.
