Every year the Beach n' Chili Fest is one of the TOP events on the Grand Strand drawing in chili chefs and connoisseurs from all over the nation, and top bean spokesperson's like regular host Brian Baumgartner, the Chili King Kevin from TV's popular series The Office!
The chili styles vary greatly too from your traditional chilis to Cincinnati chili, to Green Chicken Enchilada Chili! And the theming that accompanies these chili professors is as varied as the flavors! Ski masks and voodoo witch doctors and firehouses all pepper the festival grounds as each competitor vies for the attention of judges.
Many of these competitors come from far out of state and have spent years if not decades honing their skills and refining their recipes and techniques! Spectators can witness the festivities with a free admission and to taste and judge it is a nominal fee of $15!
Duke the Bush's bean dog was also in attendance last year and local guests like WBTW's Ed Piotrowski and Charles Bach of Charles Bach's magic show at Broadway at the Beach! Who knows what this year holds in store for chilifest!
Chili Fest runs September 27-29th in the old Pavilion park right in front of the ocean, OR you can catch all the action of 2024 Chili Fest on Retro Myrtle Beach Guy on Youtube!
