Around 200 neighbors turned out on Sunday, February 22 at Bryant Square Park for the 27th Annual South Uptown Chili Fest — and what a wonderful afternoon it was! From savory bites to sweet conversations, the event was full of warmth, laughter, and community spirit. ❤️
Together, we shared great food, connected with neighbors, and supported both the South Uptown Neighborhood Association and Joyce Uptown Food Shelf. That’s what community is all about!
A huge thank you to our generous chili sponsors — Bryant Lake Bowl, Gigi's Cafe, Nightingale, and Uptown Diner — for donating the delicious chili that kept everyone coming back for seconds! 🌟
And thank you to the dozens of South Uptown volunteers who made this beloved annual tradition possible. We couldn’t do it without you! 🙌
Here’s to 27 years of chili, connection, and community — and many more to come! 🌶️🎉
