Come taste more than a dozen different delicious chilis prepared by each of our stations and several other divisions, and then vote on your favorite. A silent auction will also have several awesome prizes and winners will be announced at 7:30 PM. The Arvada Elks will also be selling beverages and additional food items.

A $5 entry fee is appreciated. All proceeds from this event benefit the Friends of Arvada Fire, a non-profit established to raise money and support Arvada Fire. This event always includes holiday cheer, great community support, and all types of chili — red or green, spicy or mild, and meat or vegetarian.

This will be the 14th year the Friends of Arvada Fire has hosted this event and is one of their signature fundraising events for the year. Funds raised by the Friends can help Arvada Fire purchase equipment and support projects that improve both firefighter and community safety.
