What is the only event in Memphis that HEATS YOU UP and COOLS YOU DOWN?
Come join the fun at The 18th Annual Chili Cook-off and 29th Annual Polar Bear Plunge!
Saturday, February 15, 2025
The Chili Cook-Off starts at 10:00 am! Divisions for the cook-off are red chili, salsa & people’s choice. Additional prizes will be awarded for showmanship.
If cooking chili is not your thing then, you be the Judge! For just $5 you get to taste-test the chili of all participating chili teams and vote for people’s choice.
You’ll never believe how many different ways there are to cook chili!
Join hundreds of brave souls and take a plunge into the frigid waters, as they brave the elements to benefit Special Olympics of Greater Memphis.
The plunge is at 2:30 p.m. and everyone pays the $50 per person/team member entry fee.
Plungers come dressed in your wackiest costume for a chance to win the Golden Plunger!
