Downtown Fort Mill Chili Cook-Off 🌶️

Join us Saturday, November 21 from 2–5 PM in the courtyard at the Fort Mill History Museum for an afternoon of great chili, friendly competition, and community!

Local restaurants, businesses, and home cooks will go head-to-head while guests taste their way through every entry and vote for their favorites. Tickets are $25 and limited to 100 guests, with beer and wine available for purchase. Proceeds support the Downtown Fort Mill Co-Op and our work to support local businesses and bring our community together.
