The final weekend of Caseville Cheeseburger always seems to sneak up on us. It’s a bit of a bittersweet time, with the summer winding down and the anticipation of fall just around the corner. But, it’s also one of the best times to be at the festival – the grills are seasoned, the staff are in their groove, and there’s a palpable buzz in the air. The final days are packed with fun events, from the grand opening of Chuck’s Coffee on Friday to Yoga on the Beach, a cardboard boat race, and a classic car showdown throughout the weekend.
The Caseville Cheeseburger festival was the brainchild of Lyn Bezemek, who wanted to celebrate the end of summer in 1999. What started as a modest event with around 5,000 attendees has grown into a 10-day festival that attracts up to 80,000 people. The festival is now a full-blown celebration with concerts, local art vendors, street-side bars, and of course, grilling cheeseburgers. The Parade of Tropical Fools is the highlight of the festival, a two-hour spectacle reminiscent of Mardi Gras in New Orleans where floats and marchers throw beads, candies, Frisbees, and other goodies to the crowd.
As we bid farewell to the 2018 summer season, let’s make the most of one of its final weekends. Be safe, have fun, and savor the cheeseburgers at Caseville. To learn more about the festival or to get some tips for your visit, check out these related links.
