American Cheese Society Award Ceremony & Festival of Cheese

Benaroya Hall
Seattle, WA

For the first time, the American Cheese Society's Annual Award Ceremony and Festival of Cheese will be combined into one amazing night at Seattle's prestigious Benaroya Hall, home of the Seattle Symphony.

Considered the Oscars of the cheese world, the evening begins in the auditorium, a spectacular space that sets the standard for concert venues in the Pacific Northwest. This year, our Award Ceremony is open to the public, giving cheese fans a chance to join in the celebration. *Please note that all tickets sold to the Festival of Cheese through Brown Paper Tickets, and on site at Benaroya Hall, will include a complimentary trial membership to the American Cheese Society.

Immediately following the Ceremony, guests will exit into the main halls and directly into the Festival of Cheese. Not only will all competition cheeses be on display (over 1,300), but we have invited Seattle's best restaurants to serve bites of their favorite dishes. To all this will be added a selection of Washington's best wineries and breweries pouring their award-winning selections.
