Join your friends in Five Points for one of Columbia's favorite fall events. The 26th Annual Chili Cook Off will be on a Saturday in October (TBD) on the 2100 block of Greene Street. Chili Cookers are now being asked to sign up to compete in one of the best local competitions in the city. Each year, over 50 chili cookers put on their flashiest aprons and slave all day over a hot cooker to serve to the public, their finest chili recipe in hopes of winning a prize in the competition. To compete - please click the link below! What makes the Chili Cook Off so extraordinary is not just the delicious chili, cold beer, beautiful weather and live music - but the fact that all money raised goes to the Hope Center and Camp Kemo. The retailers in Five Points will also be having a sidewalk sale during the event to offer great sales and discounts to shoppers in between chili tastings. Join us for chili, music, beer and more!
