Get ready for some serious fun and flavor at our in-person chili showdown. Bring your best chili recipe to compete for top honors—or simply come to sample a delicious variety of chili, juicy hamburgers, and savory hotdogs. Along with great food, enjoy lively games, family-friendly activities, and lots of laughs in the company of your fellow Veterans, Service Members, and their families.
Adding to the festivities, we’re thrilled to feature a live performance by the Augusta Vet Center Guitars for Vets alumni, providing a select track of acoustic enjoyment.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this sizzling event! Whether you’re entering the chili competition or joining for the fun, please RSVP—and let us know if you’ll be bringing your chili to the table.
Special shout out to the Savannah River Keeper for hosting the cookoff.
