MEXICO’S BEST CHILI FESTIVAL!

Welcome to the official web page of the Mexican National Chili Cook-Off.  2020 marks the 42nd. year of the largest and most important annual fund-raising event Lakeside.  During the 3 day event we expect thousands of attendees who will enjoy more than a hundred vendors selling the finest crafts and services available, non-stop entertainment, 4 different competitions to garner bragging rights, a village-wide parade and the colorful opening ceremony all leading up to our goal…… helping our charities financially to meet the  communities’ needs.

Mark your calendars and encourage everyone you know to join us this February 7,8,9, so we can make this Cook-Off the most successful yet.  Come take advantage of the bargains from our selected merchants, stop by our T-shirt tent to pick up a keepsake for yourself or family, enjoy the variety of live entertainment, and sample our margarita, salsa, and chili competitions.
