This event is being held in conjunction with Summer Saturdays (formerly First Saturdays) so take in the Market and the entertainment, too.
Western-themed activities take over Olde Towne Okotoks, including the central event: a chili cook off. Come down to taste the chili creations or register a team and compete!
Compete in the Chili Fest Cook Off!
Enter your team into the Chilli Fest Cook Off on Saturday, August 30.
Registration fee: $20 (includes 20lbs of ground beef, donated by Hirsche Fraser Meats, the Lydell Group and Bearspaw Environmental),
