About the Cauldron Cook Off
The Cauldron Cook Off is Court of Miracles’ signature fall festival and culinary competition, hosted in partnership with The Society Garden. Part celebration, part friendly contest, and part fundraiser, the Cook Off brings together chefs, home cooks, families, and local makers for an afternoon of creativity, flavor, and community spirit.
Guests can enjoy live music, local craft vendors, and family-friendly activities while sampling dishes bubbling away in the “cauldrons” of our competitors. From savory stews and cozy seasonal drinks to inventive fondues and autumn favorites, each entry is crafted with love and imagination.
This year’s Cook Off also includes a Doggie Costume Contest, festive prizes, and awards for both our Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice winners. Whether you’re entering a dish, bringing your pup in costume, or just coming to taste, sip, and celebrate, the Cauldron Cook Off is a place to gather, share, and keep Macon’s creative fire burning bright.
All proceeds benefit Court of Miracles and The Belltower Collective, helping us continue to host free and inclusive programming that nurtures local art, wellness, and community.
