Ultimate Tailgate

Ultimate Tailgate Chili Cookoff & Rib Competition

Sept. 14, 2025

It’s one of the best Sunday Fundays all year in Dixon! 

Come watch the Bears take on the Lions at 12 p.m. outside on the big screen!

Locals and traveling teams show off their chili and ribs, while hungry patrons pack the Beanblossom parking lot! 

There is a $5 admission while chili supplies last. **Please note: This is not a rib tasting event.**

The bars offer specials and get involved in the competitions, too!

It always makes for a great fall afternoon downtown!

More information to come!
