TDMA CHILI Cook-Off 2026

Put Your Business in the Middle of the Action.

TDMA Chili Cook-Off is taking over Temerson Square for an afternoon built around great chili, live music, local businesses, and hundreds of guests enjoying Downtown Tuscaloosa.

With 40 vendor tents, bands playing throughout the event, and a crowd tasting their way through the square, Chili Cook-Off gives your business a chance to be part of one of downtown’s most exciting community events of the fall.

​

Set up your tent, serve your best chili, meet hundreds of potential customers, and put your business directly in front of the Downtown Tuscaloosa community — all while competing for bragging rights as one of Chili Cook-Offs best.

​

TDMA members participate FREE.

Tents Sold Out! See you at Chili Cook-Off!
