More cheese, please. It’s no secret that the Mile Square is full of mutz {or mozzarella, for the non-locals}. In fact, it’s home to some of the best mozzarella out there, which is precisely why every year we celebrate it. The 2020 Hoboken Mutz Fest is back on Sunday, January 26th and it’s going to be as cheesy as it will be delicious. Read on for details about this year’s event and more.
About the Festival
As the name would suggest, this festival is dedicated to the top-notch mozzarella that can be found in the area. Five local spots that whip up some seriously delicious and fresh mutz will be showcased throughout the event for locals and tourists of all ages to enjoy and indulge in. So prepare to eat a lot of that savory, milky cheese {your 2020 diet resolutions can wait}. Plus, if you’ve attended before, you know that this is a can’t miss event.
Participating delis like Vito’s & Son Deli, Losurdo Brothers, and more will be cutting the cheese {we had to}, serving it with everything from tomatoes + spices, pepperoni, and so, so much more.

What to Expect
Mozzarella, duh. But seriously, this festival is designed to bring fun to the Mile Square for the whole family. It’s also typically covered by 98.7FM ESPN because let’s face it, eating mutz is a competitive sport in and of itself {remember to breathe between bites for maximum mutz consumption}.
So whether you’re an Italian cheese fiend or just want to participate in an annual Hoboken tradition, make sure to pay a visit to this very cheesy festival {trust us, you won’t be disappointed}.
