The time is near to break out your best chili recipe for a chance to win bragging rights, cash prizes and the coveted championship belt at the 2025 Chili-Fest Cook Off presented by Georgia Power set for Saturday, October 25 at Ridge Ferry Park.
Registration is now open for teams to put their chili recipes to the test in front of a panel of judges and the public. Cost of registration is $50.
Chili-Fest is open to the public on Saturday, October 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Festival goers will have the opportunity to sample some of the best chili in Rome, enjoy a large variety of arts and crafts vendors, food trucks, inflatables, and more.
Parking is $5 per car and chili-sampling bracelets are $5, one per person. Make sure to come early, because sample bracelets will sell out fast and teams will run out of chili.
To register a team, go to rfpra.com/chilifest and download the application or visit our main office at 1 Shorter Ave. For all questions or information regarding Chili-Fest, contact Tyler Stinson at [email protected].
We are also seeking a couple of food trucks, arts and crafts vendors, businesses or others who are looking to get their name out to the public. If you are interested in being a vendor, visit rfpra.com/chilifest for more information.
