Chickamauga Chili Championship

At 2:00, we will have a special performance by the NunneHi Warriors, a traditional Cherokee social dance group from Cherokee, North Carolina.

This exhibition performance is sponsored by ArtsBuild and the National Endowment for the Arts under the United We Create: America 250 grant program. This performance is to honor Indigenous presence historically and currently by inviting the Chattanooga community to experience Cherokee culture as presented by Cherokee people.

To vote for your favorite chili, tokens can be purchased in the following tiers:

1 token

$1

10 tokens

$5

20 tokens

$7

Contestants will have the opportunity to enter their recipe in one of four categories for the cook-off: veggie, beef, chicken, or wild game (deer and turkey hunters, we're looking at y'all)

For contestant registration and food safety information, go to the registration form on the "Chickamauga Chili Championship" event page of our website to enter your ingredient list, any potential allergens or dietary accommodations, and a short bio about yourself.

May the best crockpot win!
