History

Cheeseburger in Caseville began in 1999 when 5000 people came out for the event.  Now, thanks to Lyn Bezemek and her vision, Caseville is the place to be in August.  Organizers said they were looking for a late summer festival to bring tourists into town and wrap up the summer months with a bang. 

Eight years later, Caseville is referred to as “Key North” inspired by Jimmy Buffet and his tropical music.  The festival theme as described in an annual brochure is ”a celebration of life and the cruise we are making through it.”  

The initial volunteer committee agreed to make this festival a family oriented event.  The original 3 day festival has blossomed into 10 full days of food, fun, games & music for all ages including a parade of fools.   Take a look for yourself, Schedule of Events or Parade.    Did any of us ever imagine this event would generate such excitement?
