This Deliciously Cheesy Festival is Coming Back To Idaho in 2023
Heaven on earth exists in Coeur d'Alene, but it only happens once a year. The Mac & Cheese Festival in Downtown Coeur d'Alene is on January 14, 2023. It's a special day in Idaho when chefs come from all over the area to celebrate our favorite childhood dish, Mac & Cheese.

All of the chefs will be competing not for just the Golden Noodle Award, but the People's Choice. If you haven't just a heads up get tickets for this event because it will sell out.
If you're unfamiliar with how it works, you'll choose your package, select your check-in time, and then EAT! You can kick off the festival on Friday night with a Mac & Cheese dinner cruise on Lake Coeur d'Alene featuring a build-your-own Mac & Cheese bar.
