The Arizona Mac And Cheese Festival Will Leave You Happy And Full

Mac and cheese is arguably the most popular comfort food in America – so much so that an entire festival dedicated to it has been established right here in Arizona! The Mac & Cheese Festival AZ is returning this November and tickets are already on sale. You definitely don’t want to miss out on the cheesiest event of the season.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

On November 16 and 17, Scottsdale will be taken over by everyone's favorite comfort food.

Whether you prefer a crispy crust on top or the same texture throughout, rest-assured everyone leaves with a full belly and happy heart.

Regular mac is delicious enough already, but have you ever tried it on a burger? Innovative creations such as this are what sets the festival apart from any other like it.

This one might be a tad more controversial, but hear us out - you get *three* different taste sensations in one with a mac and cheese pie: gooey filling, crispy edges, and a thick, creamy top.

Around 30 different restaurants will be in attendance. Spend the entire day trying delicious, innovative samples until you physically can't eat another bite.

Plenty of drink options - including adult beverages - help wash down all that salt.

Snag a VIP ticket for access to a private entrance and exclusive tent.

Is your mac a household favorite? Both adults and kids alike have the opportunity to participate in a live cook-off.

The festival will take place at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on November 16-17, 2019.
