About this event

Join us for this “hot” event at great new location! This year’s cook-off will be held on Saturday, October 20th from Noon until 3:00 p.m. in the valet parking lot of Argosy Casino - right on Alton's beautiful riverfront!

Tickets are $6.00 for adults & $3.00 for kids 10 & under, on sale now at the Alton Visitors Center, located at 200 Piasa St. in Alton, or by phone at 618-465-6676. Your $6 ticket gains you approximately 20 2-ounce samples of chili! Tickets will be available at the door, but the event has been known to sell out, so plan ahead to guarantee that you can attend.

The Chili Cook-Off is a great civic event that encourages local chili experts to match their favorite recipe with others in similar categories. We look forward to greeting returning teams and welcoming new participants to this fiery competition.

We will award $100 prizes to winners in 4 categories: Individual, Organization, Business and Restaurant. The team chosen as “People’s Choice” will receive the coveted silver ladle & plaque and bragging rights. In addition to awards for the best chili, we are also giving a $100 prize for the best-decorated booth, so come prepared to put your theme as well as your chili on display!

Teams can choose an electric set-up (crock pot, roaster, etc.), or a gas set-up (propane stove or grill). CLICK THIS LINK TO DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM:
