This is the fourth year of the Harvest Festival sponsored by Harvest Market in cooperation with the Downtown Estacada Commission. The DEC's mission is, in part, to promote downtown events for people of all ages. Along with the outreach to promote Harvest Festival, fliers also remind families that the profits from the sale of pumpkins at Harvest Market in October are donated to the Estacada School District.
Chili Smackdown - We are hosting the second annual chili cook off in Downtown Estacada. It is free to come to the event and taste the chili while you are enjoying all the other events that are part of the Harvest Festival.
Chili Cook-Off contestants pay a $20 entry fee and compete for a 50/50 grand prize. Voting is done by tasters who tip with dollar bills in your jar if they like yours best. Each cook gets to designate a local non-profit to get half your tip jar, the other half goes to Estacada Development Association, the 501c3 non-profit putting this event on!
Time: 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
