API Chili Cook-Off Tickets

API Chili Cook-Off is more than a performer—it’s part of a community tradition hosted by the Williston API (American Petroleum Institute) Williston Basin Chapter. Each year, the Chili Cook-Off brings together chili teams, volunteers, and attendees for a fun, community-driven fundraiser. The 45th Annual API Chili Cook-Off is set for March 28, 2026 at the Raymond Family Community Center in Williston, ND. This event draws locals and visitors alike, with a 21+ policy and ID required for entry. It’s a great chance to enjoy a day of chili, live entertainment, and community spirit while supporting a worthy cause.

As an artist on this page, API Chili Cook-Off represents the communal energy of the event—an opportunity to connect with fans in a friendly, no-pressure setting. We’ve got you covered for tickets, event details, and how to make the most of your Williston visit around the chili celebration.
