The Pahrump Chili Cook-off Festival is a three-day celebration of food, family, and fun. This free community event brings together chili lovers, families, and visitors from across Southern Nevada for an unforgettable weekend.

Festival highlights include a chili cook-off competition, the Disney Heroes & Villains Dog Fashion Show, a classic car and motorcycle show, the fiery Hot Wing Challenge, and the Chili Pepper Grand Prix – a fun battery-powered car race for kids. Attendees can also enjoy live entertainment, a carnival, food trucks, vendors, and contests throughout the weekend.

More than just a festival, the event supports local nonprofits, with proceeds benefiting the Pahrump Disabilities Outreach Program, the Pahrump Theatre Company, and Bikers Against Bullies.

Chili tasting is Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4 pm. Tasting tickets are $1 each, 12 for $10, or unlimited for $25.
