CHEESEBURGER IN Caseville

The 2020 Cheeseburger in Caseville is Cancelled – Details

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the inability to get insurance for the event, the Caseville Chamber of Commerce has canceled the 2020 Cheeseburger in Caseville Festival.

The Cheeseburger in Caseville is a chance to experience a bit of Key West atmosphere, Jimmy Buffet music, and indulge in cheeseburgers in paradise. In prior years, officials placed estimates were that over 100,000 people visited the area during its 10-day festival. It’s a family-friendly event during the day but offers a bit of craziness that true Parrot Heads appreciate in the evening hours. Here are some hints provided by those who frequent the event each year.

How to Prepare for Cheeseburger in Caseville

This includes having your own water, a rain jacket, and comfortable walking shoes. Fill a small backpack with snacks, sunscreen, and even a change of clothes. Double on this point if your bringing kids!!

Gas Up Before You Arrive at Cheeseburger in Caseville

If you’re getting here on fumes,  gas up in Elkton, Kinde, Bay Port, Port Austin, or Bad Axe. The main street in Caseville gets busy and packed. You will feel better knowing you can get out without waiting an hour in line for a few gallons of gas.
