Curd Fest is not a fantastical dream you had one night in a fit of perfect slumber. It's real and it's returning for the 5th year in a row.

Drink Wisconsinbly's Curd Fest comes to the Deer District on Sunday, Oct. 13 at the Drink Wisconsinbly Pub, 320 W. Highland Ave. The tasty event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

VIP Tickets for this year's event include a cup coozie, limited edition sticker, cheese curd samples from local vendors, and, for those who are 21 and older, a shot of DW Cheese Curd Vodka that comes with a chaser shot of Supper Club Ranch.

Here are the Wisconsin vendors that will sample and sell their curds:  

  • Cream City Concepts (Oak Barrel, Who's on Third, Third Street Tavern)
  • The Wandering Food Table (Full-sized food bus from Appleton)
  • Big Moo Cheese
  • Tots on the Street Food Truck

Keith Stras & Polka Confetti are back again this year from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Shut box, giant Jenga, cornhole and other games will be available throughout the day.

And yes, the Packers vs Cardinals game will screen on all TVs throughout the Pub during the event.
