It's back! The 8th Annual Northwestern Mutual Orlando Chili Cook-Off is happening February 18, 2017, from noon to 6 pm, and this year proceeds benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. With each passing year, this massive chili-fest gets better and better. This year, $15 gets you a general admission ticket and the chance to taste UNLIMITED samples from over 100 booths. You can taste each one, or if you find your favorite, feel free to go back again and again for another taste.
And, while munching on chili all day is definitely enough of a reason to venture to Orlando Festival Park, there's much more to this event than just eating. Work off all the extra calories dancing to the live performances by Wilted Chilis and Greg Warren Band, and let the kids work off their energy in the massive Kids Zone with a rock climbing wall, live animals, kid-friendly music, and loads of interactive activities.
