Wolfe Island Annual Chili Fest

Each year around the end of January or beginning of February, the Island Chili fest Committee puts on the annual Winter Chili fest. The goal is to make a little chili, taste a little chili, and have a whole lot of fun regardless of how chilly it might be outside.

The day features the annual chili competition with chefs from across the island vying for the title of best chili cook. Recipes vary from the standard fire-engine hot to wild-game, vegetarian and bison chili. As well as chili there are hot dogs for less adventourous tummies and the ever popular wolfe-tails (deep-fried sugary goodness). Loads of good eating to be had.

In the spirit of the winter season outdoor activities are the focus of the day's events. Weather permitting there's ice-skating across and around Barrett's bay, hockey near the ferry-dock, and other games for youngsters on the ice. Kenny White shows up with a team of horses and hay-wagon and kids of all ages can enjoy a hay ride around the bay.

Don't miss Wolfe Island's annual Chili fest — our salute to winter fun on the island. All proceeds from this event go to provide funds for recreation facilities on the island.
