Schmeckfest 2026
If you're looking to make plans for Schmeckfest 2026, you'll want to block out April 10 & 11, 2026 for Schmeckfest next year. Stay tuned for more information on the stage production.
Thank you to everyone who made Schmeckfest 2025 a huge success! No matter if you were a regular or first-time visitor or volunteer, you helped make the traditions and community come alive. Thank you.

The Schmeckfest Musical Crossword Puzzles book is now available while supplies last. The 138+ page spiral bound book is sure to delight a regular Schmeckfest visitor with its historical snippets, notes from cast members and directors, full cast listings and show notes. For those less familiar with past Schmeckfest musicals, the crossword puzzles from every single Schmeckfest show provide an enjoyable and humorous challenge with many of the answers embedded in the cast and show notes elsewhere in the book. Take a look at a few preview pages taken from the book and pick up your own copy at the Country Kitchen during Schmeckfest.
