2025 Chili Cook Off and Jeep Island

The Hilton Head Island Kiwanis Chili Cook Off & Jeep Island, presented by Renewal by Andersen, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025 at Lowcountry Celebration Park on the island’s south end. Cooks vie for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in Professional, Amateur, and People’s Choice categories. First-place winners earn cash prizes designated to the youth cause of their choice. Past beneficiaries include the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island, Bikers Against Child Abuse, Hilton Head Sertoma, and many more.

Jeep Island showcases a premier display of Jeeps from the East Coast, with entrants competing in a range of best-in-show categories. A donated Jeep is raffled off in one of the island’s most anticipated raffles!

The event also features the Kiwanis Grill Team serving its legendary burgers and hot dogs, a Kids Zone, adult beverages, and more. This fundraiser supports local youth programs and needs. With demand for youth services rising, your support helps improve lives—one child at a time.
