If a Mac & Cheese Festival sounds like an awesome idea to you, you are not alone.

The only problem is, you are going to have to beg, borrow or steal a ticket to get into the first annual Mac & Cheese Festival at Walker Park on Saturday.

Hosted by the Edgewood Neighborhood, the event website promises it will be the best Mac & Cheese Festival in the Southeast. It will have 20 and 30 vendors from local restaurants, chefs, and caterers. The general admission tickets – if you can find them – includes 5 samples from local Atlanta restaurants and caterers.

KaeAnne Parris, one of the festival organizers, confirmed they have sold 1,650 tickets for the event and will not be issuing any additional tickets.

The event will raise money for Neighbor in Need, a non-profit that keeps longtime residents in the Edgewood neighborhood.
