Exciting Changes for the Lexington Chili Cookoff!
Lexington, mark your calendars! The 11th annual Lexington County Chili Cookoff has officially been rescheduled due to some expected weather mishaps. Originally set for February 16, 2025, our beloved event will now take place on March 2, 2025, with doors opening at 12:00 p.m. and festivities continuing until 5:00 p.m. at the lovely Icehouse Amphitheater, located at 107 W. Main St., Lexington.
Why the Change?
You might be wondering what led to this change. Well, on February 13, it was reported that the forecast isn’t looking too chili-friendly! With a 100% chance of rain and possible thunder in the morning, it’s easy to see why organizers decided to move the party. The expected temperature is a somewhat *mild* 63°F, but with winds from the west at 10 to 15 mph, it’ll be wise to bundle up if you’re venturing out!
All About the Fun!
Now for the fun part! The Chili Cookoff promises to be an amazing time filled with not only delicious chili but also music entertainment from the talented Freeway Music School and Under the Sun. And yes, you heard it right—unlimited chili samples will be available. That’s right! Get ready to taste a variety of flavors that volunteers and local chefs will showcase!
Ticket Information and Validity
If you’ve already purchased your ticket for the original date, you can take it easy! Those tickets will still be valid on the new event date, giving you one less thing to worry about. However, if you haven’t bought your ticket yet, here’s the scoop: Admission costs $15 for adults, and children aged 12 and under can join the fun for just $5. But remember, ticket prices will rise to $20 for adults on the day of the event, so don’t wait too long!
