On Sunday, March 6th, 2022, the family-friendly Mac & Cheese Festival will feature gourmet, chef-inspired twists inspired by the South’s favorite comfort food.

  • It’s all going down at Destin Commons.

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.
