The University of Okoboji Chili Cook-Off is one of the main kick-off events to start the fun for Winter Games. With around 2,000 attendees each year, this is a great way to feature your business and show off your chili cooking skills!

Join the fun on Friday, January 23rd to taste over 15 different kinds of chili. This year’s theme will be announced soon! Check out the different businesses and their unique take on booth decorations and chili recipes. After you’ve tried them all, vote for your overall favorite chili and the winner will be announced on Saturday at the Burning of the Greens.

Participants must pre-register for this fun event. Attendees can purchase a mug ahead of time to skip the long lines the night of the event. Mugs typically run out, so grab yours before it’s too late!
