October 2, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Tempt Your Tastebuds at ChiliFest!
Sanctioned by the International Chili Society and sponsored by WSAZ and Advantage Toyota, the 37th year of ChiliFest in Huntington, West Virginia, benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities of Huntington. Since its beginnings at Ritter Park in 1983, the event has grown to well over 20,000 people jamming into Pullman Square in search of their favorite cup of chili.
While locals look forward to ChiliFest each year, cooking teams from all over the East Coast travel to Huntington to compete in the International Chili Society’s West Virginia State Chili Championship.
The winner of this “much heated” event qualifies to represent West Virginia at the ICS World’s Chili Championship. Cooks come from far and wide to downtown Huntington, with their pots, spices, secret ingredients and chili lore for this spirited competition.
ChiliFest is a charity cook-off event benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Huntington. All chili sample tickets are $1 each.
Cancelled this year due to a surge in COVID-19
