The Austin Mac & Cheese Festival returns with a live, in-person event for the Fall Market Pop-up event, on November 21st, 11am – 2pm.

In celebration of the festival’s 5th anniversary, Austin’s favorite mac-n-cheese party will take place at Celis Brewery Beer Garden, at 10001 Metric Blvd., for a slightly scaled-back event, from its typically large, pre-pandemic extravaganza.
