Dine Roundup: Food trucks and Moms Night Out at Tin Roof, Mac Fest preview party and more

Get ready for Capital City Mac Fest with pre-party at La Divina today

This city loves mac and cheese so much, it had to have two parties instead of one. To prep all the mac lovers for this Saturday’s Capital City Mac Fest at Curbside Burgers, La Divina Italian Cafe is hosting the festival preview party today, June 7, 6-8 p.m.

The party will feature live music from Dorothy Leblanc, mac and cheese samples, wine samples and two giveaways for Capital City Mac Fest tickets. Latecomers who missed the boat for the sold-out fest are in luck, because tickets for the pre-party aren’t required.
