Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3, 2026, and join us in beautiful Downtown Buchanan for a day filled with family fun, live entertainment, shopping, delicious food, and community spirit!

Featuring the Return of the Famous Chili Walk! Interested participants can sign up HERE.

After many years, we're excited to bring back one of Buchanan's most beloved traditions—the Chili Walk! 🍲🌶️

For just $5 per spoon, you'll receive a commemorative tasting spoon that allows you to sample every chili entry throughout downtown. Local restaurants, businesses, organizations, and community members will compete for bragging rights as attendees vote for their favorite chili.
