West End Chili Cookoff-Marina

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 12:00 to 4:00 PM, when the Marina hosts the annual West End Chili Cookoff. This much-anticipated community tradition brings friends, families, and neighbors together for an afternoon of great food, friendly competition, and waterfront fun.

This year, 25 local teams will be competing head-to-head for bragging rights, vying for the titles of Best Chili and Best Margarita. From bold and spicy recipes to smooth, perfectly balanced margaritas, attendees can expect an impressive lineup of flavors crafted by some of the area’s most passionate cooks and mixologists.

In addition to the tastings, the event will feature a 50-50 raffle, exciting prize raffles, and a selection of local vendors offering jewelry, spreads, and other unique goods. There will be plenty to see and do throughout the afternoon, making it a great event for all ages to enjoy.

Best of all, every dollar raised goes directly toward scholarships for the children of Sea Isle owners. By attending, tasting, and participating in the raffles, you’re not only enjoying a fantastic community event—you’re also helping invest in the future of our Sea Isle families. Come hungry, bring your friends, and be part of a great cause!
