On the First Saturday of October, the air is crisp, you can see your breath and the color is radiant on the bluffs near Cable Car Square. The shops are vibrant with anticipation of the Tri States Largest Chili Cookoff.

This aspiring event started in 1992 as a CASI, (Chili Association Society International) sanctioned competetive event. As you stroll the street many cooks will decorate their booths with themes, cooks performing, singing, dancing, competing for showmanship. Cooks can also enter Open, Business, and Salsa Entries. For one hour, or until the pots are empty, the public samples a taste of the best tasting Chili in the Tri State area. Proceeds benefit a nonprofit organization.
