SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 2024 | 12 - 3PM

The 27th Annual Old Saybrook Chili fest takes place along Main Street, Old Saybrook. Over 20 chefs will compete for the title of "Best Chili," as determined by you, the voting public.

Tasting Ballots are sold at the Chamber office (1 Main Street) and at ballot stations along Main Street. Each ballot allows purchaser to sample all chilis. Mark your ballot with your top choice and return the ballot to a ballot station. A total of 10 chilis must be tasted for a ballot to be counted in the vote.

Proceeds support the Chamber's C. Wilfred Hunter Memorial Scholarship for graduating high school seniors attending post-secondary school. In addition, the top three winners earn a donation to their designated charity. Click the button below to register as a chef and to sponsor this event!

 

Ballots are $15 each. Ballots will also be sold during event at the Chamber Office and along Main Street at stations.
