The Maplewood Chili Cookoff is returning to The Woodland, Feb 26th starting at 2PM.

After a two year pandemic hiatus, we're thrilled to announce the return of your favorite small town competitive feast. This year we're bringing back all the things you love: Up to 40 chilis including meat and vegetarian categories, the return of our popular kids' competition, a beer and wine bar, live music from Reckon So, and all the quirky small town charm you can handle. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category will win cash prizes and gift cards (up to $500) and have their name immortalized on The Maplewood Chili Cookoff's iconic cauldron trophy in its permanent home on display in the lobby of Maplewood Town Hall. All proceeds benefit the MEND hunger relief network of Essex County.
