Carne Diem 2025

Welcome to chili territory.

The 23rd annual Carne Diem benefiting United Way of Central Oklahoma is Friday, October 24!

Calling Carne a chili cook-off doesn’t quite do it justice. This lively community gathering is the most festive downtown block party around!

For a $15 minimum donation, you’ll get to sample a variety of chilis, with 60+ delicious choices made by amateurs and professionals alike. Per usual, there will be beer available for purchase, live music and a pepper-eating contest. New this year, we'll be line dancing with Pepper Vold!
