Important Update Regarding Chili Fest 2026
CANCELLED
It is with sincere disappointment that we announce the cancellation — and hopeful postponement — of the 29th Annual Old Saybrook Chili Fest scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Unfortunately, due to the snow storm and the inability to have Main Street fully cleared and safely prepared in time, we cannot move forward with the event this Saturday.
We will communicate updated plans as soon as possible.
