Each and every March, talented chili cooks, professionals and amateurs alike descend upon the southwestern community of Pahrump to duke it out for the coveted title of Nevada’s Best Chili. Throughout the weekend, celebrity judges will taste their way to awarding top chili recipes at this International Chili Society-sanctioned state championship cook-off.
The Silver State Chili Cook-Off kicks off in Pahrump’s Petrack Park, situated on the northern edge of town. No admission is required to enter the event, but plan to come with cash to taste your way through an impressive lineup of chili vendors, each with varying costs. This year’s event will be supporting the Pahrump Valley Youth Activities Program.
