Artsy Fartsy Chili Champion Party

Who makes the best chili in the Amana Colonies? There’s only one way to find out!
The Amana Arts Guild invites the community to the first Artsy Fartsy Chili Party on Sunday, October 25, from 4:00–7:00 PM at the Amana Arts Guild in High Amana.
The evening will combine chili, art, music and a little friendly competition as local restaurants and community organizations go head-to-head for the title of Artsy Fartsy Chili Champion 2026.
Guests will be able to sample the competing chilis and cast their vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice Chili Competition. The winning chili will earn bragging rights—and a one-of-a-kind Artsy Fartsy Chili Champion trophy!
This year’s competitors include:
– Amana Fire Department
– The Indigo Room
– Two 20th Point
– The Loose Moose
– The Ronneburg
– Brau Haus
And because it wouldn’t be an Artsy Fartsy event without art, the chili competition will take place alongside an art sale featuring local artists and their work. Guests can enjoy the food, browse the art and perhaps take home something handmade.
Adding to the festivities will be live acoustic music by Todd Frank, making this a relaxed fall evening for friends, families and chili lovers to gather and enjoy the Amana community.
