The third annual NOLA Mac n’ Cheese Festival presented by Waitr returns to Louis Armstrong Park this weekend! Come carb up while listening to live music and meandering through the local artist vendor market from 11am-6pm. The weather is supposed to cool off significantly this weekend, so those that endured Beignet Fest last weekend won’t have to battle the same heat.
Come carb-up while listening to Live music and shopping our local artist market. This year, there are 15 different food and beverage vendors participating waiting to serve up your new favorite mac n cheese snack. Vendors include local favorites such as Squeezy Street Lemonade, Frey Smoked Meats Co., Manning’s, and more. While indulging in your favorite cheesy bites, don’t forget to enjoy the awesome live music including a closing set from NOLA songstress Robin Barnes!
