Springfield Chili Cookoff Jacksonville 2026

One of Springfield’s favorite neighborhood traditions is back. After several years away, the Springfield Chili Cookoff returns, bringing neighbors together again for a fun evening of great food, friendly competition, and community spirit.

Local nonprofits will serve up their best chili recipes while guests sample and vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice competition. A panel of local chefs will also award a Judges’ Choice winner, adding a little extra bragging rights to the mix.

The event benefits a local charity, so every bowl helps support a good cause. Come hungry, cast your vote, and help welcome back one of Springfield’s most loved community events.
