PLYMOUTH, Wis. — Plymouth Wisconsin’s annual Big Cheese Drop kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Can it get any more Wisconsin than this?
Event attendees will start their New Year off with one very large Sartori Cheese. A giant wedge of Sartori’s BellaVitano® Gold Cheese is lowered down from a firetruck ladder at the end of the event, mimicking the New Year's Eve ball drop in New York City.
The annual Sartori Big Cheese drop dates back to 2007. This marks the 18th year of the cheesy tradition.
Festivities include a Sartori cheese tasting table, hot cocoa and live music from the String Along band.
The New Year’s Eve event expects thousands of people to come together in the nation’s Cheese Capitol.
The first 250 families in the door will also receive a complimentary Sartori Cheese gift bag.
The event takes place at the Plymouth Arts Center from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 31. The grand finale begins at 10 p.m., with the cheese drop.
The Plymouth Arts Center is located at 520 East Mill Street, Plymouth, Wis. For more information, check out the Plymouth Arts Center website.
