Sacramento’s Cheesiest Tradition, Crafted for Food Lovers
At the Sacramento Grilled Cheese Festival, we believe great food brings people together. What started as a simple love for crispy, golden-brown bread and gooey, melted cheese has transformed into a full-fledged celebration of creativity, community, and culinary excellence. Whether you're a classic cheddar-on-sourdough purist or an adventurous eater craving bold new flavors, our festival is your place to indulge, connect, and enjoy.
This isn't just a festival — this is a movement dedicated to celebrating local chefs, artisans, and breweries while delivering the ultimate comfort food experience.

Mission
Our mission is to foster community and support local businesses. We bring together the best of Northern California’s food scene—chefs, food vendors and artisans— and American Beverages to create a delicious and unforgettable event.
By showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients and innovative takes on this timeless classic, we aim to honor tradition while embracing creativity. And with every bite, we strive to create moments of nostalgia & discovery for our guests.
