About the festival:
Bringing the heat since 2009, the Orlando Chili Cook-off is back but with a new annual date. The festival will be hosted annually in November, rather than February. The next Orlando Chili Cook-off is still being cooked up, at Festival Park Orlando, keeping the tradition alive of chili for charity.
Not only is the Orlando Chili Cook-off hosted in November 2021 but it takes on a new title as the World Qualifier Chili Cook-off for the International Chili Society (ICS). As the World Qualifier, competing chefs will be able to participate at the Orlando Chili Cook-off vying for a top 3 placement which automatically enters them into the ICS World Championship. This will open the door for more competition and additional mouthwatering chili delights crafted by local restaurants and nationwide chefs.
Help us continue supporting the community, at Festival Park Orlando. Since 2009, the Orlando Chili Cook-off has donated over $1,000,000 in cash, media, products, and services to deserving charities. Some wonderful charities the event has supported are Special Olympics Florida, Wounded Warrior Project, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Kiwanis Club, Camaraderie Foundation, and more.
