About the Event

Gold Star Chili and the Cincinnati Fire Museum have joined forces once again to revive Gold Star ChiliFest after a 14-year hiatus. The original Gold Star ChiliFest was a Cincinnati tradition for over two decades.

The new event will recapture the family-friendly fun with food trucks – all serving chili dishes, activities for the entire family, live music and a chili cook-off.  The Gold Star ChiliFest will be held at the Cincinnati Fire Museum and its adjacent lots on Plum and Court streets.

The event and Museum admission are free to attend.
