Local restaurants will bring their best macaroni masterpieces to compete for the best mac and cheese in town. There are three categories that each local restaurant can win in total:

  • Judge’s Choice Award
  • People’s Choice Award
  • Kid’s Choice Award

Visitors are invited to taste each delicious vendor and cast their vote — all the while supporting a charitable cause.
