Chili Bowl Tailgate 2026
Get ready to tailgate, taste, and cheer on your team at this year’s Football-Themed Chili Cook-Off Tailgate!
We’re bringing together all the best parts of game day: chili, drinks, games, friendly competition, and football. Members will go head-to-head for bragging rights in three chili categories: Best in Spicy, Best in Mild, and People’s Choice.
Sample the chili competition, cast your vote, grab a drink, and settle in to watch the New England Patriots take on the Chicago Bears on the big screen. Throughout the game, enjoy football-themed activities, a ½-time contest, Football Squares, DJ entertainment, and plenty of tailgate fun.
Not competing? No problem! Host a vendor table and bring desserts, games, giveaways, or other fun activities to make your space a fan favorite.
Dress Code: Casual — football and tailgate attire encouraged!
