The Malibu Chili Cook-Off offered up more than sales of tastes, or bowls, of chili on Saturday during the event’s first full day of family-friendly fun.
The event included a chili competition (of course), but also a skateboard contest, DJ sets, an artisan marketplace, carnival rides and food trucks.
The public had a chance to vote for their favorite chili — meat and vegan options were available for purchase — on Friday through 3 p.m. Sunday for the People’s Choice award. Chili contest winners were scheduled to be announced at 6 p.m. Sunday. Chili prices varied by the vendor. malibuchilicookoff.org/chili-faqs/
Skateboarders were able to show off their skills and techniques on the mini-ramp, presented by Bones Love Milk, during the weekend.
The 5th Johnny Strange Legacy Skate Contest was held on Saturday. Registration for the contest was on-site, and open for all skill levels in one of two divisions — intermediate and advanced. Prizes were given out to the top three in each division. malibuchilicookoff.org/skate/
