Our Chili Cook Off & Fall Festival is coming up on October 17th from 5-9 pm at Douglas County High School and the CAC.

For its 30th anniversary, the COOK OFF is going to be bigger than ever with the addition of a haunted house, art and dessert vendors, and a DJ enhancing the usual delicious chili, costume contests, and goody bags. Today we are excited to announce 4 local organizations who will be joining us to spread the word about the important missions that they serve. CAC VANGUARD COMMITTEE: They will provide information about the CAC’s Arts & Culture Campus initiative and accept contributions. CHAPEL HILL HIGH SCHOOL HoPE: They build communities where Hispanic and Latino students can lead, serve, and thrive by offering leadership training, support, and resources. DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM: They strive to provide a rigorous academic and character-building education for all students in a safe and supportive environment. NEW MANHESTER HIGH SCHOOL F.A.M.E VISUAL ARTS: They foster artistic and academic excellence in a collaborative environment. @chapelhillhs Chapel Hill High School Douglas County Georgia Schools #DOUGLASCOUNTYSCHOOLSYSTEM #DOUGLASCOUNTY #NEWMANCHESTERHIGHSCHOOL #NMHS #CHAPELHILLHIGHSCHOOL #CHHS #festival #foodtrucks #artsandcrafts #art #meetup #meetups #thingstodo #culturalartscouncil #visitdouglasville #nonprofit #artgallery #chilicookoff2026 #chilicookoff #fallfestival #fallfestivals #halloween #halloweenfestivals #halloweenfestival2026
