The 26th Annual Old Saybrook Chili fest takes place along Main Street, Old Saybrook. Twenty five chefs will compete for the title of "Best Chili," as determined by you, the voting public. 

Tasting Ballots are $15 each, 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.

WE'RE GOING GREEN WITH THE ROCKFALL FOUNDATION & BLUE EARTH COMPOST!

In an effort to further reduce waste, we are teaming up with Blue Earth Compost, a food scrap collection service that will provide customized waste stations along Main Street. With the generous underwriting of The Rockfall Foundation, our chili cups will be compostable. Those compostable cups will be deposited into Blue Earth's bins, and ultimately whisked away by Blue Earth staff to be composted. It's a win-win all around!
