The Cheesiest Event of the Year

Cheese enthusiasts will love the return of the 3rd annual Oozefest hosted by Foodbeast, on Saturday, Oct. 14 at MainPlace Mall in Santa Ana. During Oozefest, guests can over-indulge in cheese-centric bites and craft beer, as well as take part in a game of Spicy Jalapeno Popper Russian Roulette presented by Infinity Sauce. You can also swing by the PBR Stage to check out the PBR Pizza Eating Competition, where the winner will receive the ‘PBR Pizza Cup’, a trophy only the ultimate cheese-lover can earn. In addition, there will be a professional grilled-cheese eating competition, presented by King’s Hawaiian. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate October and National Cheese Month.
