Family Events Throughout Central Florida

Meet the Publishers

August 20, 2016

Did you know that Macaroni Kid has 10 editions throughout Central Florida? All of the publishers here in Central Florida work very closely together and after polling our readers, we realized that many of you did not know that Macaroni Kid extends beyond your local area. Well... it DOES! Going to visit your family or best friend across town? Check out the local happenings in that area. You can browse their calendars, sign up for the newsletters and most importantly, SHARE with your friends and family in those communities!
