The highly anticipated 11th Annual Windsor Chili Cook-Off returns Saturday, September 7, calling on chili enthusiasts and culinary wizards alike to showcase their skills in a savory showdown.

The Windsor Chili Cook-Off is an annual culinary event hosted by the Windsor Chamber of Commerce celebrating the rich tradition of chili making and community spirit. This Cook-Off brings together amateur and professional chili chefs from Windsor and beyond, showcasing their unique recipes for a chance to win cash prizes, trophies, bragging rights, and to have a lot of fun. The event offers a high-energy atmosphere with live music, local vendors, and great food. Proceeds are donated to local organizations.

In a new twist this year, teams will have a chance to win cash prizes in addition to trophies and bragging rights. Organized by the Windsor Chamber of Commerce, this beloved community event promises a day filled with delicious chili, local libations, and vibrant entertainment.

Teams throughout Sonoma County are encouraged to register and compete for the coveted titles of Best Traditional Chili and Best Homestyle Chili. For the first time, teams will have a chance at winning cash prizes, in addition to trophies and bragging rights. A distinguished panel of local celebrity judges and culinary experts will determine the top winners in each category.

Charitable Impact: A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit Food for Thought, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to providing nutritious meals to thousands of people in Sonoma County, CA who struggle with food insecurity and hunger.. By participating in the Windsor Chili Cook-Off, attendees and sponsors alike contribute directly to this vital cause.

New Local Entertainment: Dustin Saylor is a Northern California home-grown American country singer and songwriter. His sound has been compared to Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, Chase Rice and Tyler Childers.

Exclusive Wine Sponsor: Mengler Family Wines will be the exclusive wine sponsor of the event, offering attendees the perfect complement to their chili-tasting experience.

Craft Beer: We love cold beer with our chili, and plenty of beer-on-tap will be available from local favorites like Bear Republic Brewing, Cooperage, Old Caz, and CUVER Belgian Brewers.
