The Boro Chili Fest, a popular local event formerly known as “Chili Town,” is set to take place at the Statesboro Farmers Market (222 S. Main St. in Statesboro) on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 5pm to 9pm.
The annual chili cook-off, organized this year to benefit the Humane Society of Statesboro and Bulloch County, will feature a variety of activities for all ages. Attendees can look forward to free face painting, pictures with Santa, and complimentary chili tastings from a range of competitors.
Set up for competitors begins at 3pm and must be complete by 4:30pm, as samples for judging will be pulled at 5pm. (Registration for chili entries is closed.) After trying samples of all the chili, attendees can vote on their favorite entries, with a cost of $1 per vote.
Awards will be given for categories such as Overall Best Chili, Best Decorated Booth, People’s Choice, and Best Restaurant Chili.
Local vendors will also be present, offering goods and treats for attendees. Sponsors for this year’s fest include Statesboro Properties and Georgia Power. All proceeds from the event will go toward supporting the Humane Society’s mission in the community.
