Venice Pier District's 1st Annual CHILI COOK-OFF
Get ready to spice things up at the Venice Pier District's very first chili cook-off! Join us on June 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM (PDT) at the Venice Pier District for a day full of flavor and fun.
Come and taste a variety of delicious chili from different booths and judge for yourself which one is the best! Enjoy live music to keep the energy high, and cool down with refreshing cold drinks.

If you're feeling adventurous, take a ride on the mechanical bull—but only if you dare! The event will have a rodeo-style theme, so be sure to dress the part and bring the whole family for an unforgettable day of excitement and community spirit.
