3rd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook-Off Returns This Summer

Spicy competition, cold drinks, live music, and community spirit will all come together at the 3rd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook-Off, one of the area’s fastest-growing community events. Hosted by the Orange Rotary Club, the event invites residents to sample a variety of chili recipes while enjoying an afternoon of food, entertainment, and family-friendly activities.  

The cook-off will feature entries from local restaurants, community organizations, and amateur chefs competing for bragging rights and top honors. Attendees will have the opportunity to taste different styles of chili, vote for their favorites, and enjoy live music, vendors, classic cars, and craft beer throughout the day. Organizers expect another strong turnout as the event continues to grow into a popular Old Towne tradition.  

Beyond the food and festivities, proceeds from the event support charitable initiatives through the Orange Rotary Club, helping fund projects that benefit the local community. The combination of great food, entertainment, and philanthropy has helped make the Chili Cook-Off one of Orange’s signature summer gatherings.  

The 3rd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook-Off takes place Saturday, June 20 beginning at 10 AM at Chapman Crafted, located in Old Towne Orange.
