SUMMARY:42nd Annual Belleville Chili Cook Off
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Greater Belleville Chamber of Commerce\, the Annual Chili Cook-Off has been a beloved tradition for more than 41 years!\nWhat began as a small event with just a handful of vendors on one block of East Main Street has grown into one of Belleville’s largest and most anticipated festivals—featuring over 60 vendors showcasing their best chili recipes. \nWhile many attend for the delicious chili\, live entertainment\, and festive atmosphere\, few realize the event’s incredible impact: it’s the biggest fundraiser of the year for many local non-profit organizations. In fact\, more than half of the participating vendors represent non-profits or businesses raising money for charitable causes.\nAttendees can also make a difference by voting in the People’s Choice Contest—just $1 per vote\, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Community Interfaith Food Pantry in Belleville.\nJoin us for great food\, great fun\, and a great cause!
