7th Annual Mac & Cheese Festival

Thought macaroni and cheese was just for kids? Think again! Join us at the 7th Annual Mac & Cheese Festival presented by Cox & Publix Charities on Sunday, March 16th, 2025, at the Destin Commons! This family-friendly event will feature gourmet, chef-inspired twists on the South’s favorite comfort food. Local restaurants will compete for the best mac in town. Be there to sample everything for yourself and cast your vote! All proceeds from this event will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast, which works in our community to promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence through its programs focused on academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
