Raising the level of play.

This isn’t just another chili cook-off. While the Ballpark Chili Cook-Off is held at Sullivan Field, a gem of a ballpark nestled in a Grand Rapids WestSide neighborhood, the competition is major league.

(Because the ballpark is under renovation - we are “Takin’ it to the Street” this year!)

Come put your chili palate to the ballpark test.
