16th Annual Green Chile Classic Scheduled for September 28

Don’t miss out on the 16th annual Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic cookoff — as part of the 18th annual Mountain Chile Cha Cha in Town Park on September 28 — is open to chefs of all backgrounds. Secure your spot now to compete for cash prizes and trophies.

This cook-off provides a platform to showcase your culinary skills and vie for top honors. With limited space available, early registration is your best chance to participate.

For those with a competitive spirit, this is your chance to showcase an old family recipe, or something totally new and exciting. Home cooks can enter for $15, while commercial entrants pay $35. Winners in the meat, vegetarian, people’s choice, and restaurant categories will each walk away with $200, a first-place trophy, and bragging rights.

The stage is set, and the prizes are waiting. Are you ready to compete? Register for the race and the Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic by visiting ilovegreenchile.com today.

The 18th annual Mountain Chile Cha Cha promises a day filled with excitement and entertainment at Town Park.

We are implementing a $10 entry fee to enter the event. Children aged 12 and under are free. This small fee is worth it for an enhanced event experience featuring two of our favorite bands.

Get ready to be amazed by the lively Latin rhythms of the award-winning band ‘Sangre Joven’ from New Mexico as they set the stage on fire. And that’s not all — prepare yourself for an electrifying performance by ‘Str8 Shot’ that will have you moving and shaking.

NOTE: The annual Mountain Chile Cha-Cha 5k and 10k trail race event has been cancelled this year. Organizers hope to bring it back next year.

At the 18th annual Mountain Chile Cha Cha, there’s something for everyone. Enjoy tasting green chile, a Mexican beer garden, a Margarita contest and tasting, green chile roasted on-site, an all-day kids’ corner and various delicious food vendors. Rain or shine, this event promises a day of fun and excitement. Don’t miss out!
