The 5th annual Mac & Cheese Festival is set to take place on Sunday, March 5th, 2023, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., at Destin Commons. 

  • The family-friendly event will be a celebration of one of the South’s favorite comfort foods, macaroni and cheese. 

Local restaurants from far and wide will be participating in the event and bringing their best mac and cheese creations to compete for the title of the Best Mac and Cheese in Town. 

The festival will feature three categories for the local restaurants to compete in: Judge’s Choice Award, People’s Choice Award, and Kid’s Choice Award. Attendees will be able to taste each delicious sample from the vendors and cast their vote.
