ChiliFest fans,
Thanks for taking a minute to check in with us here at ChiliFestwv.com. I am sure you’ve heard by now that our patron restaurant, Chili Willi’s is closing. While this is sad but true, please be reassured that NOTHING WILL CHANGE WITH CHILIFEST! We look forward to many, many exciting years of championship chili and salsa cook-offs, great food, great music and more for many years to come. As always – Chili Regards, Ron

ChiliFest is the West Virginia State Chili Championship sanctioned by the International Chili Society and sponsored by Chili Willi's and WSAZ.

The winner of this "much heated" event qualifies to represent West Virginia at the ICS World's Chili Championship. Cooks come from far and wide to downtown Huntington, with their pots, spices, secret ingredients and chili lore for this spirited competition.

ChiliFest is a charity cook-off event benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities at the Tri-State. All chili sample tickets are $1 each or six for $5.
