Broadway Bash Chili Cookoff

The annual Broadway Bash Chili Cook-off is held the last Saturday in October on Broadway Street, overlooking the mighty Mississippi River in downtown Natchez. For a $25 sponsorship, area groups and businesses decorate booths and enter cooking teams to vie for the best chili in Natchez. Games, entertainment, and trophies for the Judges' Choice, People's Choice, and Best of Show make this event fun for the whole family. All proceeds benefit the Natchez Children's Home Services. The event is sponsored and managed by Fat Mama’s Tamales.  Call Joe Mitchell at The Children’s Home to participate. Photo Gallery of Chili Cookoff.
