The ultimate cook off showdown of the Worcester Fire Stations at the Paragus Firehouse Cook Off- Polar Park- August 18th from 5-9pm!!
About this Event

At the Paragus Firehouse Cook Off, firehouses from around the city compete to create dishes for a panel of local celebrity judges, plus a People’s Choice award.

Last year, we raised $30,000 for the Worcester Firefighters 6K and DetecTogether with more than 300 people coming out to Polar Park to eat, drink, and vote for their favorites. With your help, we can up the ante this year.

Let’s get cooking.
