Local foodies braved the weather on Saturday, April 25th, to attend the fourth annual Mac & Cheese festival organized by the Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area. Despite the rain, people gathered in Quaker Square to sample the creative cheese-based offerings, and to enjoy live music and entertainment.

Listen to hear from local band VANCAMP and to find out which dish was awarded the judges’ “Big Cheese” award.
