Join us on Saturday, March 7th from 12PM-4PM at the annual Chili Cook-Off in Downtown Ithaca!

Spend the day sampling a wide range of chili styles, plus unique chili-inspired dishes. Then cast your vote and help decide who takes home top honors, including Best Meat Chili, Best Vegetarian or Vegan Chili, Best Chili-Inspired Item, and the People’s Choice Award.

This annual tradition is more than just a feast; it’s a fundraiser that supports free events in Downtown Ithaca all year long.

Plus, Z95.5 will be there all day playing the hottest new music, handing out prizes, and having a blast!

We’ll see you on the Commons… and may the best chili win!
