Attention, mac & cheese loves (which is practically everyone who has ever lived); We’ve got some good news to help get you through the long, dreary winter ahead. A huge mac & cheese festival that was once local to Austin is going on a national tour — and it’s coming to the Evergreen State. Save the date Sunday, August 2, 2020, and prepare to spend an afternoon in paradise (and in stretchy pants as well).

The Mac + Cheese Festival kicked off in 2017, where it was an instant hit.
