“Mac” your calendar and get ready for our annual macaroni and cheese festival. It’s the “cheesiest” event of the year! Join us on Sunday, February 25th, at noon for a family-friendly event that supports the museum’s mission and helps us choose the area’s ultimate comfort food.
Festival attendees receive museum admission and a book of Mac & Motors tickets. After using the tickets to sample the signature recipes of our participating vendor, guests use their final ticket to cast their votes for their favorite mac ‘n cheese. The vendor who receives the most attendee votes is the winner and receives the “MacBowl” trophy.
The museum welcomes mac & cheese experts from area restaurants, caterers, and vendors as Mac & Motors contestants. Each prepares their favorite mac & cheese recipe and then shares warm and cheesy pasta samples with festival attendees.

Got great mac & cheese? Find out how your restaurant’s/organization’s recipe compares with Central Pennsylvania’s best mac makers. Fifteen to twenty of Central PA’s best restaurants are invited to bring their favorite mac & cheese to the museum for sampling in disposable aluminum pans. The museum will provide chafer frames, pans, sterno for heat, sampling cups, spoons, napkins, and food scoops/dishers. Last year more than 600 guests attended Mac and Motors.
The top three vote-getters receive engraved trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place to commemorate their festival victory!
