If you were looking forward to the next Chili Cook-off at Pinecrest Gardens , we have some disappointing news for you: This year’s edition of the popular annual event has been canceled.
The official site for this event, which is sanctioned by the International Chili Society , has this announcement:
“Due to Covid-19 concerns, we will not have our Chili Cook-Off this season, but we will be back with more fun and chili than ever in Season 2021-2022!”
The event typically features a primary competition for professional chili cooks and a separate contest for amateur chili cooks. There also are country music bands, line dancing, mechanical bull riding, plus a selection of food, chili sampling and more.
In the past, tickets cost $5 for general admission, and admission was free for Pinecrest Gardens members and children younger than age 2. All proceeds have benefited the Community Foundation of Pinecrest , a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Pinecrest Gardens, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in October 2011.
Pinecrest Gardens is at 11000 Red Road. For more information, go to pinecrestgardens.org .
Other Miami events that have been canceled
The year 2020 brought many firsts and never-before-seens – including the cancellation of some of our favorite events. Throughout Miami, organizers have had to make tough decisions and take into account factors such as public safety.
