What To Expect

  • A wristband for unlimited delicious mac and cheese, from the classic cheese sauce to the inventive with a little bacon in it, prepared by some of Atlanta’s best chefs
  • Cold boozy beverages also available on-site by Lagunitas
  • Sweet tunes from Jillian Loux, MerryLeigh Giarra & 10 Degrees Off, Sailing to Denver, All the Locals, and Zydefunk with Charlie Wooton
  • Good feels from the knowledge that you're benefitting the nonprofit Neighbor in Need, which helps get home repairs for elderly, low-income residents in Edgewood

Scout Notes

Edgewood has been one of the few ATL neighborhoods without a celebratory fall festival. But this year, that changes with a cheesy bang: the 2nd Annual Mac & Cheese Festival. And we’d ask why mac & cheese, but isn’t the better question, why not? Everyone has a favorite style of the noodles and cheese sauce, from the homemade to the box-bought. And whether your allegiance lies with Velveeta’s Shells and Sauce, Kraft or even Annie’s Organic, all mac and cheese lovers are invited out to Edgewood’s Mac & Cheese Festival this October 7th at Edgewood’s finest public park, Walker Park, from 12:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Your ticket includes admission to the festival and unlimited samples of mac and cheese. As fall festivals go, they won’t just be serving up the food of the day. Music, drinks from Lagunitas and space to lay out a blanket and hang out for the day between bites of cheesy goodness also await you. Restaurants cooking up their take on mac & cheese include ATL favorites like One Bite ATL, Fox Brothers BBQ, Baldheaded Bistro, Marlows Tavern, American Road House, Ormsby's, Dish Dive, Sun in My Belly and more. Better yet, all the proceeds from the festival go to a great cause: Neighbor in Need, which helps elderly, low-income residents repair their homes—from plumbing problems to new roofs—so they can continue living in the neighborhood. Last year's event raised over $25,000 for those in need, so let's all eat some mac n cheese in the name of charity, OK? Spend the afternoon helping Neighbors in Need, and all you gotta do is indulge in this delicious mac and cheese.
