Everyone is encouraged to sample each of the booths and then vote for their favorite two chili tastes and favorite two salsa tastes. The event opens at 11 am. Ticket booths open at 10:45 am and close at 2 pm. People's choice ballots must be returned by 3 pm. Awards are presented on the Main and PCH stage at 5 pm.

With over seven categories like “Best Chili Name”, “People's Choice”, and “Judge's Choice,” contestants have the chance to win up to $500 in cash prizes.
