Sample some of the region's tastiest chili as restaurants battle for the title of "Best Chili in Northeast Florida." Experienced judges choose the winners, who will receive trophies and recognition in a local publication. The judges also taste entries for Best Home-Cooked Chili in Northeast Florida, and present prizes to the first-, second-, and third-place winners.

Sample the chili and vote for your favorite chili to win the People's Choice Award. Purchase beer, whiskey, and tasty bites at the bar, and shop the diverse artisan market, featuring handcrafted items such as jewelry, wooden and leather crafts, cocktail accessories, spices, and hot sauces.

This celebration offers bold flavors, fun competition, and live bluegrass music, featuring local performers.
