Chili Fights in the Heights
Chili Fights in the Heights is one of Little Rock’s hottest annual events, bringing together chili lovers, local chefs, and the community for a day of friendly competition and delicious fun. Hosted by The Hat Club, this event takes place in the historic Heights Neighborhood on Kavanaugh Boulevard, where teams compete in two chili contests: People’s Choice and Chili Fights Judges Awards.
The event is more than just a chili cook-off—it's a celebration of community spirit with live music, entertainment, and activities for the whole family. Even better, all proceeds benefit the Arkansas Foodbank, helping to support hunger relief efforts across the state.
Whether you're a chili enthusiast, want to form a team, or just love a good time, Chili Fights in the Heights is the perfect way to enjoy great food, fantastic company, and make a meaningful impact in your community.
