Palm Coast Chili Cook-offs at European Village

Sat, Dec 5, 2026 and Sun, Dec 6, 2026 · Palm Coast, FL · ICS-sanctioned

Our take written by Chili Times

The Palm Coast cook-offs are two ICS events at European Village on consecutive days. Each lists Traditional Red at $35.00, Homestyle and Chili Verde at $30.00, and Veggie at $20.00.

The listing calls it the 10th annual cook-off there, supporting the ELKS Veterans and Children's Services, and offers $15 unlimited sampling or $10 for 5 samples. It also says cooks are competing for a chance to qualify for the World Finals.
