Annual Chilifest

Warm up your autumn with the Vermont's North Country Chamber of Commerce Annual Chilifest, the tastiest event of the Newport Fall Festival. Join us in downtown Newport for an afternoon of savory competition where local amateur and professional chefs showcase their best family recipes.

Grab your tasting spoon to sample over a dozen unique chilis, from traditional secret recipes to spicy and creative variations. As you stroll down Main Street, be sure to cast your vote for the People's Choice Award. It's a vibrant, family-friendly way to enjoy the crisp Northeast Kingdom air and celebrate the season with our community!
