Superior’s 24th Chili & Beer Fest Draws Crowds with Spicy Flavors and Local Vibes

Excitement filled the air as Superior Colorado hosted its 24th annual Chili & Beer Fest on September 6, turning Community Park into a hub of flavor and fun.

This beloved event, which began as a cozy neighborhood gathering, has grown into a major draw for food lovers and beer enthusiasts alike.

Local organizer Mikaela Gregg shared how it all started with residents seeking joyful ways to connect over meals.

She noted the festival now attracts thousands, boasting dozens of vendors and breweries each year.

Attendees enjoyed performances by Wrenn Van Band and Hazel Miller & The Collective, adding lively rhythms to the day.

Free chili tastings from the cookoff delighted crowds, while beer sampling supported community initiatives.

Unlike typical fairs, this one channels proceeds to youth programs via the Boulder Valley Rotary Club.

Brandon Webb from The Stable Bar and Grill recalled their winning chili from last year and praised the event's welcoming atmosphere.

Though not competing this time, he looks forward to future participation in this town highlight.

Recent community buzz includes the upcoming Taste of Nepal on September 18, promising more cultural flavors at the Superior Community Center.

Superior’s evolving scene, with new eateries and parks, keeps events like this thriving for families and locals.

Mark your calendars—next year’s fest promises even more spicy surprises.
