There Is A Massive Mac And Cheese Festival Coming To Iowa In May

Do you like mac and cheese? Do you believe there is no such thing as too much of a good thing? the people running the Mac and Cheese Fest in Dubuque agree. For the first time in several years, the famous event is returning to the Grand River Conference Center in Dubuque, and the doors are open to those who want to sample more than twenty-five varieties of the creamy treat.

Does that first creamy bite of mac and cheese take you right back to your childhood? If so, this is one event you won't want to miss.

Located at the Grand River Convention Center in Dubuque, the Mac and Cheese Fest is an all-you-can-eat extravaganza.

For a one-price ticket, you'll get to sample more than 25 kinds of Mac and Cheese and 50+ beverages.

Many of the samples come from acclaimed local restaurants, like this Italian mac-and-cheese with crostini.

Every restaurant pushes the boundaries a little, with unique creations like this chicken-and-penne mac.

Or this spicy bacon mac, which delivers some old favorites with a unique kick. You'll be grateful for the included beverages!

And then there are those challengers who break the format entirely. Grilled mac-and-cheese sandwich in tomato soup, anyone?

It's all for one goal - to win the prestigious Golden Mac trophy that the year's best mac-and-cheese wins every year.

You won't want to leave without picking up some T-shirts and other swag. After all, what better way to proclaim your love for the rich treat before next year's event?
