About This Event

Get ready to taste the best chili in town at The Downtown Chili Throwdown - it's gonna be a spicy showdown you won't want to miss!


Gimme’s is throwing down for charity—and this time, it’s personal (and delicious). The Downtown Chili Throwdown brings together a number of the city’s best restaurants for a fall-themed, no-holds-barred chili cook-off. Expect traditional flavor bombs, wildly creative twists, and a whole lot of heat.


Whether you're a casual taster or a chili snob, we’ve got you covered:



  • Samples of every chili (Traditional + Unique from each vendor)

  • Vote with your chips for the People’s Champs

  • Live music keeps the energy high all afternoon

  • Fall cocktails and draft beer from Gimme’s outdoor cart

  • All under a giant heated tent


All proceeds support Van Andel Institute.
