Chili Cookoff Fundraiser
Sunday, November 15 
10 AM – 1 PM 
Greer City Park
This year’s event will feature more than 45 local farmers, makers, and bakers, alongside live music, food trucks, and family-friendly fun.
The highlight of the day is the Chili Cookoff, where attendees can sample delicious chili recipes and cast their vote for the best. Taste tickets are just $1 each at the Greer Farmers Market booths—purchase one ticket per contestant to try them all. Every ticket purchase supports the Greer Farmers Market and its food assistance programs.
Chili tasters will receive a voting stick to cast their ballot for the People’s Choice Award (votes must be submitted by 1:30 PM). In addition, a panel of expert judges will select the Judges’ Choice Award winner. Winners will be announced during the ceremony at 1:45 PM.
Competitors will continue serving chili until 2:00 PM or until sold out, so guests are encouraged to come hungry and try them all. Tickets and voting will be available at the Greer Farmers Market booths.
Bring the whole family to enjoy an evening of local shopping, great food, and community spirit. All vendors are local within 50 miles of Greer, making this event a true celebration of Greer and the Upstate.
