    Event Details
    Princeton is chock-full of talented home cooks and impressive professional chefs. The fan-favorite annual Community Chili Cook-Off, hosted by the Arts Council and the Historical Society of Princeton, puts their skills to the test.

    On Sunday October 11th from 12pm-3pm attendees will enjoy samples from professional and amateur chefs before casting their vote. Live music, beer and cider, and family-friendly activities and games will complete this festive fall day at HSP’s Updike Farmstead! Make a day of it: there will be 15+ different chilis to try, but you’re invited to round out your lunch with a picnic (no alcohol, please!)

    Participating Pros for our 2026 Cook-Off include Mediterra, Jammin’ Crepes, Yankee Doodle Tap Room, Chef Tom Wu, Wood Craft Catering, and Small World Coffee.
    So, who will be named Princeton Chili Champion?! You’ll be the judge of that.
