Czhilispiel

About

Running since 1973, Czhilispiel celebrates Flatonia's Czech and German heritage with a chili cook-off at its core, plus a concert series, biergarten, carnival, parade, arts & crafts market, and 5K/10K. The festival has hosted major Texas music acts — Robert Earl Keen, Turnpike Troubadours, Cody Johnson, and others. Event is 100% volunteer-driven and seeks arts & crafts vendors, food vendors, and food trucks alongside cook-off participants and sponsors.
