Grilled cheese lovers, unite!

If macaroni and cheese enthusiasts can have their own Atlanta festival, so can fans of this cheesy sandwich.

Atlanta Sports and Social Club is behind the Atlanta Grilled Cheese Festival, which will take place from noon-6 p.m. Oct. 7 in the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark.

Participating restaurants have not been announced yet but, according to the festival website, "restaurants from all over Atlanta will be serving up bites of melty, cheesy, goodness all day long for your tasting pleasure."

Attendees will also be able to enjoy live music, beer, contests and more.

Tickets are $12 through July 27.

The Best of Atlanta video series continues with the round up of the best music festivals in Atlanta.
