GREAT SUTTER CREEK CHILI COOK-OFF AND CAR SHOW

The 8th Annual Great Sutter Creek Chili Cook-Off and Car Show is a classic small town event, with the perfect backdrop, the historic gold rush buildings of Sutter Creek.

Historic Main Street is closed off for the day when the cars and chili vendors take over. Almost 100 classic cars and hot rods fill one end of town, while chili teams fill the opposite end. Music fills the air, as people sample the homemade chili and salsa at each booth and then vote for their favorite.

The Great Sutter Creek Chili Cook off is always on the second Sunday of October and goes from 9am-3pm (cars) and 11am - 3pm (chili).

This event is FUN and FAMILY FRIENDLY
