Are you ready for MORE cheese, MORE vendors, and MORE delicious samples?

We’re adding even more vendors to Mac & Cheese Fest presented by Dakota Community Bank & Trust, so trust us when we say you’re going to want to try them all. Keep your eyes peeled and check back here as we get closer to the event for juicy updates on who will be serving up cheesy delights. The best way to try them all is to purchase the VIP Mac Daddy ticket with 12 mac tokens — that’s 3 lbs. of mac and cheese!

*Let’s talk important cheese business. Please be aware that our cheese paradise may not be a haven for the gluten-free or lactose-intolerant. Keep your eyes peeled on the official menu for any vendors offering gluten-free or dairy-free options – because nobody should miss out on the fun. Many of our vendors will be sizzling up dishes that include meaty delights such as bacon, brisket, and more.
