Crowd Favorite Mac & Cheese Fest Returns to Kalamazoo This June

Fun fact: in the United Kingdom, Mac n Cheese is apparently just called macaroni cheese. The cheesy, gooey, often covered in breadcrumbs, pasta dish is easily a favorite comfort food amongst kids and adults alike no matter where you live.

If you count yourself among those who love mac n cheese, great news: the Mac and Cheese Festival is returning to Kalamazoo this summer.

The Undeniably Dairy Mac and Cheese Festival is happening Saturday, June 18th, and Sunday, June 19th (2022) at the Homer Stryker Field in Kalamazoo. If you've attended the Mac N Cheese Festival in the past, you already know... tickets will absolutely sell out quickly.

So far, the vendor lineup for this year's event has yet to be announced. But, tickets are on sale. The prices are:
