Let's get chili in the villi!

We are really disappointed to have to post this, but we are canceling the chili cook off for 2024. There’s simply weren’t enough registrants for the chili cook off portion of the event. We hope for more interest next year and urge you to follow us on social media for information on how to get involved early on. Again, we are very sorry For having to cancel. Please check out our other wonderful events throughout the rest of the year. 

Bring your taste buds and sample amateur and professional local chefs' best chili recipes! Each entry fee will get you a commemorative tasting mug as well as a voting ticket for both amateur and professional chilis of your choice

* Please note: if you have last year's mug you are welcome to bring it for a discounted rate! (just choose that option when checking out)

Arrive at 11am to peruse our vendor market, and enjoy music, family activities, games and more! We will have food trucks present to accompany your chili tasting, as well as provide drink options and dessert! We will also have the musical stylings of the OVP's very own: The Lounge Flies and DJ Del to rock out with us all afternoon! 

VENDORS: we do have some limited spaces still for vending,

 And of course the reason you came: tasting and voting opens at 12pm and closes at 2pm.
