Downtown Chili Cook-Off

The Downtown Chili Cook-Off started in 2003 and continues to grow in popularity both with contestants and tasters. The event is held in the fall during the Day in Downtown Street Festival sponsored by the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce.

Individuals, businesses, and non-profit groups show off their cooking skills and compete to see who has the best tasting chili in Fuquay-Varina. All awards are voted on by the public.

All proceeds benefit revitalization efforts in Historic Downtown Fuquay-Varina.
