2026 Chili Cook Off
The AASC Chili Cookoff is back for 2026!
The AASC Chili Cook-Off Is Back and Better Than Ever!
Turn up the heat and join us for one of AASC’s most flavorful events of the year! The 2026 Chili Cook-Off brings our multifamily community together for an evening filled with delicious chili, creative booths, friendly competition, and plenty of opportunities to connect.
Come hungry and get ready to:
- Sample red and green chili prepared by AASC members
- Taste delicious desserts
- Vote for your favorite chili and booth
- Cheer on competitors in our returning Derby Car Race
- Enjoy drinks, networking, and friendly competition with fellow AASC members
Think Your Team Has What It Takes?
Gather your team, perfect your recipe, and create a booth that attendees will remember. Competitors can enter a red chili, green chili, dessert, or a combination of categories. Your booth decorations are also part of the competition, so choose a theme, get creative, and go all out!
Not competing? Grab an attendee ticket and help decide which team will take home the People’s Choice and Best Booth awards.
