About this event
The Tupelo Chili Festival is a Downtown Tupelo fall staple held at Fairpark during Fall Into Tupelo Month by the Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association. Local businesses, city departments, and neighbors form teams and cook for bragging rights and top chili honors. Guests sample the pots, then vote in the People's Choice contest, with live music and food trucks around the park.
Our take: Sample the teams' pots before you cast a People's Choice vote, then stay for the music.
