FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Summer just isn’t summer without the annual trip to a chili cook-off event, and Fort St. John is no exception.

Registration has begun for the Chili Bowl Bash 2025 in June, hosted by the North Peace Potters’ Guild.

According to a Facebook post, the event is “great” for the entire family and will be hosted at Fort St. John’s Festival Plaza.

The post reads attendees can participate as judges in a chili competition. What makes the event different is people can choose a bowl from the Potters’ Guild to taste the chili and take the handmade bowl home.

Desserts, live music and a kids’ pinata will also be a part of the event.

Tickets for the Chili Bowl Bash will be available during the Potters’ Guild Spring Pottery Sale at the Arts Post on 10320 94th Avenue from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 3rd.
