About this event

It’s the 30th anniversary of the CAC’s Chili Cook Off, and we are celebrating with an expanded Chili Cook Off & Fall Festival event which will take place at both Douglas County High School and the Cultural Arts Center on October 17th from 5-9 pm. Over the past three decades, the Chili Cook Off has become a favorite Douglasville tradition. It started in 1996 on the front porch of the Cultural Arts Center and later moved to O’Neal Plaza. Thirty years later, in addition to all the chili action at Douglas County High School, we are reincorporating the CAC property as the site for the costume contest, sweet-treat vendors, yard games, and an art exhibit. Last year, more than 4,000 people joined in this festive evening of good food, fun, and entertainment as local Douglasville celebrities presented the community with a variety of chili flavors. In previous years, local politicians, political parties, many candidates, local businesses, and non-profits competed to determine the best chili in Douglasville and Douglas County. By purchasing booths and tickets, vendors and guests support the valuable work of the Cultural Arts Council.
