The Island Harvest Chili Cook-Off is Saturday, October 11, 3:30pm-6:30pm, at Brickworks in Friday Harbor. Come and enjoy a delicious meal of chili prepared by fine, local chefs, shop at local artists’ Art Market, tap your toes to music by The Rocky Bay Boys, and linger in the Brickworks Beer Garden.

Dishing up their best meat and vegetarian chili will be Cask and Schooner, Duck Soup Inn, Friday Harbor High School Food for Thought, The Market Chef, Talking Horse Farm, and Mike’s Cafe and Wine Bar. Cornbread comes with the meal, and a press will be on hand to make fresh apple cider. There will be a fire pit to toast homemade marshmallows to create your own s’mores. The Brickworks Beer Garden will feature local wine, beer, and hard cider.

The public is invited to judge several categories of the best chili, followed by the “Crowning of the Chili Champ” at 6:00pm.
Tickets for the chili feast are $16 for adults and $10 for children under 12. Tickets may be purchased at the San Juan Island Farmers Market at the Sweet Earth Farm Booth, in town at The Market Chef and Griffin Bay Bookstore, and online at “Brown Paper Tickets”. The ticket price includes chili, fresh apple cider, cornbread, and s’mores.

The Art Market, music and beer garden are free and open to all.

The Island Harvest Chili Cook-off is part of “Savor the San Juans”, an October celebration sponsored by the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau. For more information contact Candace Jagel at [email protected] .
