Downtown Alton Chili Cook-Off
Sat, October 20th 2024
Alton Main Street invites you to join the fun at the Downtown Alton Chili Cook-Off, to be held on Saturday, October 14th from Noon until 3:00 p.m.
RAIN OR SHINE – on the beautiful patio and in the warehouse at The Lovejoy (401 Piasa St.)
LIVE MUSIC from Big George Jr. and the NGK Band!
The Chili Cook-Off is a great civic event that encourages local chili chefs (both amateur & professional) to match their favorite recipe with others in similar categories in this fiery competition.
Tickets will only be available at the door: $10.00 for adults & $5.00 for kids 12 & under. Your ticket gains you a sample of chili from each team.
Judges will award $100 prizes to winners in 4 categories: Individual, Organization, Business, and Restaurant. The team chosen as “People’s Choice” will receive the coveted silver ladle and bragging rights. In addition to awards for the best chili, we are also giving a $100 prize for the best-decorated booth, so come prepared to put your theme as well as your chili on display!
