The 49th annual Terlingua International Chili Championship will be held at rancho de los C.A.S.I, on highway 170 between Terlingua and Lajitas
Terlingua is where it all started in 1967, when a group of friends got together to settle a heated dispute about what constituted good chili. Nothing was resolved, and ever since chili lovers from all over the world have gathered on the first Saturday of each November to vie for the title of world’s best chili cook. These days, over 10,000 fanatics of all stripes show up for the food and the fun, literally doubling the population of Brewster County.

Profits from the Cook-Off go towards local Fire, EMS and schools.
