Historic Newburgh Hosting Community Chili Cook-Off This Holiday Season

Historic Newburgh has a whole host of holiday festivities planned for 2022 including a Community Chili Cook-Off and you're invited!

Non-Profit Teams Wanted

Historic Newburgh will hold the Community Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, November 12, 2022, as part of its Christmas in the Burgh celebration, and they are looking for area non-profits teams to compete for first and second-place People's Choice trophies. If you are a part of a non-profit and you would like to register your team for the Community Chili Cook-Off, visit HistoricNewburgh.org.

Not a  Non-Profit? Taste Test & Cast Your Vote!

If you're not a part of a non-profit, you are encouraged to attend the Community Chili Cook-Off to taste-test the teams' chili and cast your vote for your favorite. For just $5 you can have unlimited samples of the chilis served up that day, and that $5 will also get you two tickets to use to vote for your favorites.
