Baby, It’s Cold Outside, but We’ve Got the Heat You Need! 🌶️🔥
Warm up with AVFRD at our annual chili fundraiser, featuring unlimited tastings of some of the best chili in Ashburn, proudly served by your favorite local restaurants. Every dollar raised directly supports the Ashburn Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department and the services we provide to our community.
This is a family-friendly event. Kids can get an up-close look at a fire truck and experience the Seat Belt Convincer while learning about safety in a fun, hands-on way. 🚒
The competition brings the heat, too. Local celebrity judges will crown the 2026 Chili Winners, and attendees can cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award to help their favorite chili take home bragging rights.
We’re also excited to share that AVFRD has found a new home for this beloved annual event following the closure of Old Ox Brewery in 2025. While the location is new, everything you love about this fundraiser remains the same.
Come hungry, bring your friends and family, and enjoy a great day supporting your local heroes. We look forward to seeing you there.
Ten people. One fire engine. A lot of cheering. Grab 9 friends, dress to impress, and take on the Chilly Days Engine Pull for prizes, laughs, and serious bragging rights. Sign up your team today. Space is limited.
THANK YOU TO OUR JUDGES!
