The Downtown Wheaton Mac 'n' Cheese Festival took over the streets on Saturday, May 16, from 1 to 5 p.m. Tickets ran $25 for general admission — or $20 for Friends of Downtown Wheaton — and included unlimited mac 'n' cheese tastings from local restaurants and vendors, plus live music throughout the afternoon.
Why it matters
Events like MacFest are what turn downtown from a place you drive through to a place you actually spend a Saturday. If you missed it this year, put it on the 2027 calendar now.
