Save the date for the 40th Annual Chillifest on October 4th & 5th, 2025! This milestone marks our Ruby Anniversary,  a fitting celebration of the strength, life, and thriving spirit that the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce embodies.

Join us for a weekend filled with chili cook-offs, live music, pageantrys, family-friendly activities, delicious food, and unique shopping experiences offered by the multitude of artisans, vendors, and of course our local shops and eateries.

We invite you to watch the interviews in the WICS News report on this year's 39th Annual Chillifest event and how it brings an economic boost to Taylorville for both vendors and brick and mortar shops and eateries.
