Fret no more.
Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day (or the entire Family Day long weekend) solo, with friends or with a significant other, you now have the chance to spend it eating creative (and Instagrammable) mac and cheese dishes.
North America’s largest Mac and Cheese Festival is hosting a massive Valentine’s weekend festival from February 14-16, 2020, in Mississauga.
The three-day event, which will take place at the Small Arms Inspection Building, will welcome a number of chefs and mac and cheese aficionados who will be on hand to prepare some of their signature comfort food dishes.
Attendees can also enjoy plenty of wine, cocktails, margaritas, and beer.
