“Hopefully this initiative will introduce new customers to a restaurant they haven’t yet experienced.
MAC N CHEESE FOR 100 MAC
“To showcase this quality that our downtown restaurants possess, we decided to bring the king of comfort food - mac and cheese - to their kitchens and let them create cheesy masterpieces,” Terry explains.

Peterborough’s first-ever Mac + Cheese Festival takes place during October 2021 at 18 participating downtown restaurants, one of which will be crowned Mac + Cheese Champion with a donation made to Kawartha Food Share in the restaurant’s name. “Peterborough’s downtown offers the best culinary experience in the region, including a diverse array of restaurant experiences that bring the flavours of the world together in one place,” says DBIA executive director Terry Guiel. Dishes range from classic macs to adventurous and fancy macs, created especially for the festival by 18 downtown restaurants including pubs, cafes, delis, burger joints, pizzerias, and fine dining and vegan restaurants. The brainchild of the Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA), the Mac + Cheese Festival is the ultimate festival for lovers of the comfort food. Mac and cheese fans will love the variety of carb-loaded dishes coming to downtown Peterborough for the month of October during the first-ever Mac + Cheese Festival - and they’ll also find comfort in their hearts knowing they are supporting locally owned restaurants while also helping to address food insecurity for those in need.
