Program Description

Event Details

Bring your taste buds and appetite!  Do you like chili? Then we need your help! We’re asking community members to come and taste the chili entries in our annual Chili Cook Off, then vote for your favorites. It’s tasty work, and somebody has to do it! Plus, it’s free to come and taste. Adults, youth, teens–everyone is welcome! Judging will be done by the public for the People's Choice and Traverse City Fire Fighters will select the Judge’s Choice winners.

Live performance from the band FullStop etm.

There is still room if you would like to participate and enter your chili.  If so, register HERE.
