Third Annual Chili Cookoff

Get ready for the Third Annual Chili Cookoff at 7venth Sun! We are talking delicious chili, cold beer, and great company. Join us on Sat Dec 06 2025 at 2pm for a chili throwdown. Your $25 ticket comes with bowls and spoons to devour the chilis, a complementary brewski, and a ballot to cast your vote!

Last year our chili slanging efforts raised $3,000 for Toys for Tots! Let's help provide a Christmas for the less fortunate children while enjoying the gathering of friends!

Whether you're a chili connoisseur or just love a good bowl of comfort food, this event is perfect for you. Sample a variety of chili recipes from talented cooks and vote for your favorite. The competition will be fierce, but the flavors will be even bolder! If you want to register to cook please rsvp at https://dunedinchili.eventbrite.com - Cook spots are extremely limited and will go fast.

Come hungry and thirsty, as we'll have plenty of chili and beer to go around. Invite your friends and family to join in on the fun. Don't miss out on this spicy event!
