Trident Chili Cook-Off 2026

Sunday, November 15, 5 pm, Chicago, IL

The 15th Chili Cook-Off is a chili competition for members of Chicago-area leather, kink and LGBTQIA+ clubs and groups. Cooks bring a heated chili and a slow cooker, and everyone who attends gets a ballot to taste the chilis and vote for Fan Favorite. “Pleasure” and “Pain” donation buckets add a second contest.

All proceeds benefit Broadway Youth Center, which supports at-risk youth in Chicago.
