Mark your calendars. You won’t want to miss the Chili & Beer Fest's 25th anniversary! Join the community for a day of delicious chili, cold beverages and fun with your neighbors and friends.
This year's event is on Sept. 12 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Community Park (1350 Coalton Road). It features family-friendly fun, including live music from Mono Verde Collective and Erica Brown Entertainment, games and activities for kids and adults, local vendors, and of course chili, beer and more!
Twenty-five years calls for big flavor, and this year we're expanding beyond the traditional bowl of chili to include creative chili-flavored foods of all kinds.
What does this mean? Va-ri-et-y!!! More than just the traditional bowl of chili, with the same traditional Chili & Beer Fest love of flavor.
During the festival, sample as many options as you can, discover new takes on festival favorites and vote for the chili creation you think deserves the title of People’s Choice.
Not a big chili fan? We’ve still got you covered! Food and dessert trucks will be onsite offering a variety of meals and sweet treats for purchase in addition to their free chili-flavored samples. You’ll find plenty more than chili on the menu!
General entry to Chili & Beer Fest is free and includes unlimited chili-flavored food samples while supplies last.
Hosted by the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley, Beer Fest tickets features unlimited 3-ounce pours from an array of beer, cider, wine, spirits and nonalcoholic beverage vendors. Tickets are $40 in advance or $50 on the day of the event, and includes a souvenir Boulder Valley Beer Fest mug.
Hosted by the Superior Chamber of Commerce, VIP admission includes all the benefits of Beer Fest Tickets, plus exclusive access to a catered & shaded VIP lounge. Tickets can be purchased for $85 in advance or $95 at the doors.
This year, vendors can think beyond the traditional bowl of chili.
Chili dogs, chili cheeseburgers, chili tamales, chili-stuffed peppers, chili nachos and other creative products are all welcome. If chili is part of the recipe, we want to try it!
Grab your best recipes and register by Aug. 26.
