The Riverwalk Chili Cook Off is an opportunity for Riverwalk to promote our neighboring non-profits in a fun and relaxed way!  Competing teams raise money for their non-profit at the same time they raise awareness for the non-profits cause.  This event is free and open to the public, and the public can participate in the judging by purchasing sample cups, and voting for the winner of the event.  New in 2023, the winning team is eligible to participate in the International Chili Cookoff, Amateur division!

The Chili Cook Off has annual attendance 1,000-2,500.

The 9th Annual Riverwalk Chili Cook-off is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, February 8, 2025.
