CHILI FESTIVAL BENEFITS LOCAL COMMUNITY

The Havelock Chili Festival was created as a means for nonprofit organizations to raise funds and awareness for their causes. 

Proceeds from the Havelock Chili Festival benefit nonprofit organizations in our local area. 


In 2019, over $11,500 in funds were distributed to a variety of organizations, schools, and causes, 

including $1,000 in scholarships and $2,000 in STEM grants to Havelock elementary and Middle schools.

HISTORY OF THE HAVELOCK CHILI FESTIVAL

 Havelock is a small town that is proud of its partnership with Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the largest Marine Air Station in the world. 

The Havelock Chili Festival also cherishes its relationship with the leadership and Marines and sailors of MCAS Cherry Point. 


In 1981, the Commanding General of MCAS Cherry Point suggested the creation of a festival that would provide his Marines, Sailors and their families 

with an opportunity to connect with the Havelock community. Based on his vision, Havelock's International Chili Society Cook-off concept was born. 

Past Havelock Chili Cook-offs have included competitors from all over the great state of North Carolina and visitors from Arkansas, Colorado, 

Missouri, New Jersey, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. 


After a 2-year hiatus, we are eager to once again offer an exciting opportunity for chili cooks and vendors across Eastern North Carolina and far and wide to participate in this annual family-focused, safe event. 

 

Our Mission Statement

The Havelock Chili Festival pledges to continue honoring its legacy by producing memorable family-friendly community events that support local non-profit organizations.
