Don't Miss Sunday's Chili Cook-Off at Reformation Brewery

This Sunday, November 8, Reformation Brewery hosts Canton's popular Chili Cook-Off. Sample creative recipes, enjoy local brews, and soak up the community vibe.

A Canton Tradition Heats Up This Weekend

If you're looking for something delicious and fun to do this Sunday, November 8, mark your calendar for the Canton Chili Cook-Off at Reformation Brewery. This local favorite brings together home cooks, craft beer lovers, and neighbors ready to celebrate one of Canton's tastiest community traditions.

What to Expect at the Chili Cook-Off

Reformation Brewery on Reformation Parkway transforms into chili central for this friendly competition. You'll find creative takes on classic recipes—some mild and savory, others bringing serious heat. It's the kind of laid-back Sunday afternoon where you can sample different entries, cast your vote for your favorite, and discover just how talented Canton's home cooks really are.

And of course, it wouldn't be Reformation without their lineup of freshly brewed craft beers on tap. A cold pint pairs perfectly with a warm bowl of chili, especially as we settle into cooler fall weather here in Cherokee County.

More Happening Around Town

This week also kicks off free outdoor yoga at The Mill on Etowah, running Wednesdays through November 18. If you've been curious about what your home is worth in one of Canton's walkable neighborhoods near downtown or The Mill, now's a great time to explore the area and see what draws so many people to this side of town.

Looking ahead, Friday, November 14 brings the Makers Market back to The Mill, and the following Friday—November 18—downtown Canton lights up for the Holiday Tree Lighting and Drone Show at Cannon Park. The holiday season arrives early here, and it's always a special evening.
