9th Annual OLeno Ol Chili Cook-Off & Springs Celebration

Add To Trip Planner

At O'Leno State Park. Bring your favorite chili recipe and compete with the best during the CASI sanctioned category of this chili cook off. You do not have to be a member to participate. Or, you can compete in the Open category where anything goes! All proceeds from the Chili Cook-off will be used for the feeding and care of the animals in the O’Leno Nature Center and for the construction of an interpretive pavilion for the Nature Center.


And, join us for the Springs Celebration while enjoying the chili! Highlights will include live music, model train exhibits, children’s activities, environmental exhibits, interactive water education displays and native plant sales. This event is designed to teach the importance of Florida’s springs.
