Chili Cook-Off Puerto Vallarta

The Chili Cook-Off is a family-friendly event held annually in Puerto Vallarta, México for the past 11 years. It is hosted by the non-profit organization, The Jay Sadler Project A.C. All revenues from the Cook-Off go to help fund the non-profit and their work in the under-served communities of the greater Bay of Banderas area. The Cook-Off features all-day entertainment from local bands as well as many food and beverage vendors. In addition, some 25 restaurants, bars, and individuals bring their chili for judging in both the popular (attendees) and professional categories. We have a variety of ticketing options this year so please check them all over before making your choice. We look forward to seeing you in Puerto Vallarta this coming February.
