Pahrump Chili Cook-off Festival,

About the event

The Pahrump Chili Cook-off Festival is a three-day celebration of food, fun, and community spirit held at Petrack Park in Pahrump, Nevada. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of activities including live entertainment, contests, a carnival, vendors, and of course—plenty of chili tasting and competition!

This year’s festival is especially meaningful, as a portion of the proceeds will benefit three incredible local organizations:

• Pahrump Disabilities Outreach Program (PDOP) – supporting individuals with disabilities and their families.

• Pahrump Theatre Company – enriching the community through performing arts and cultural events.

• Bikers Against Bullies – a nonprofit dedicated to creating awareness and standing up against bullying.

More than just an event, the Chili Cook-off brings neighbors, families, and visitors together to celebrate community pride while raising funds for causes that make a real difference.
