Check the calendar often. Not all of the events are listed on the main page or in the newsletter due to the large number of events happening around town. And new listings are added all the time so to ensure you don't miss anything, be sure to bookmark and look through the calendar on a regular basis. Submit An Event to be added to our calendar if it's missing. We are happy to include free or low-cost family-friendly events and activities on our calendar.
Macaroni Today! App. Check out this awesome FREE app that gives you easy access to MK's calendar wherever you are. Macaroni Today is available for immediate download from the Apple Store for iPhone users. Android users can find the app on Google Play. Download it today, find MK Tri-Cities, and enjoy having the day's events right there at your fingertips!
Use the "My Macaroni" feature to build a personalized list of the events for your family. Click the "My Macaroni" button under any event listing to select the ones that you are interested in.

If you have any suggestions for articles, let me know! Click on the Macaroni Kid logo at the top of the page to come back to the main page.
Support our sponsors. Our free service is funded entirely by advertising and sponsorship. Each local ad is approved and added to the page by me, so I can assure you that they are safe to click through. Likewise, all national ads are approved by the home office. Of course, any transactions between you and the advertiser are the responsibility of the two parties involved and not myself or Macaroni Kid. If you would like to know how your business can reach our Macaroni Kid readers, please email me at amandah@macaronikid.com.
Macaroni Kid has sister sites throughout Tennessee and throughout the country! Check out nearby sites for Asheville, Knoxville, Smoky Mountains, and Chattanooga, and find others by using the drop down box on the left side of our National Macaroni Kid page. There are also several national newsletters available (Family Travel, National Newsletter, Macaroni Kid Eats, Military Families, Safety Announcements, Family Fitness etc.) and you can change your subscription preferences anytime by re-entering your information in the subscribe form, as long as you use the same email address as the original subscription. If I entered your information, you are only subscribed to the local newsletter.
