The Community Chill Night is DIY Lowell’s annual community-building fundraiser. Register early and pay a $10 suggested–but no minimum–donation, sample as many of the chilis and stews you want. ($15 suggested donation at the door, $8 suggested for 18 and under). In addition, the Community Chill Night features:
- Live entertainment
- Family-friendly games and activities
- Community awards such as “Lowell Volunteer of the Year”
- Our famous “Do-it-Yourself” Sundae Bar (A “chilly” dessert)
- Beer, seltzer, and cider sales
Our theme this year? Bold Bites. Bright Future. We're introducing a new award for chili or stew by a young person or youth group, we're highlighting all that young people are doing in our community, and we're thinking about how to make Lowell's future even brighter. This is in addition to the adult, restaurant, and favorite multicultural Traditional Spicy Stew categories!
All proceeds go to DIY Lowell, a grassroots group dedicated to helping community members make small-scale projects and events happen together. We connect people with ideas to funding, technical assistance, and most importantly to one another. Our goals are to use small-scale projects to build lasting, exciting public space improvements; civic engagement skills among youth and adults; and bridges between our diverse communities.
