NoMi Mac & Cheese Fest

In a modern world that seems bent on its demise, humble macaroni and cheese continues to prevail, laughing in the face of keto and bucking any convincing arguments you might have just heard in that new Netflix doc on going vegan. This third-annual festival at Griffing Park in North Miami brings together the area’s noblest crafters of mac-and-cheese for an epic battle to determine whose gooey elbow pasta reigns supreme. Will it be baked or slow-simmered? Shall it contain Fontina, Parmesan, mozzarella—why not all three? The winner of the showdown takes home the grand prize of $1,000 and bragging rights for a whole year, but guests of the free fest score lots of delicious pasta in addition to family-friendly activities and a performance by rap and beatbox legend Doug E.
