It’s our 10th anniversary!!! Downtown Kalamazoo’s Annual Chili Cook-off is how we’ve stayed warm on a cold Saturday in January for the past 10 years. It’s our annual tradition to explore downtown, sampling over 30 chili recipes, and visiting new and familiar retail stores and restaurants. In addition, we’ve added the familiar downtown Holly Jolly Trolley! The Holly Jolly Chili Trolley will be making the rounds, transporting chili tasters all over downtown so you don’t miss a single one!
Also, back by popular demand, commemorative tasting spoons! Pick yours up for only $5 at either the Mall Plaza Information Booth or at one of the participating retailers.
Kalamazoo Chili Cook-off is a Downtown Retail and Restaurant Association event that is put on by a volunteer committee who is dedicated to the growth and success of our downtown community. Along with a growing list of amazing sponsors, the DKRRA works to continually grow and improve this event each year.
Chili sampling is available at each of the locations listed below, while the chili lasts. Stop at any one of these businesses and pick up a chili passport/voting card that will guide you through the many chili stops. Enjoy a sampling of some of the best and most unique chili around. Some sites will even offer vegan and vegetarian options! Then, vote for your favorite! Click here for more information.
