Robertsdale Band Boosters Club Presents

2nd Annual Car Show & Chili Cook-Off

 The 2nd Annual Car Show & Chili Cook-Off is back and better than ever, bringing together car enthusiasts, chili lovers, and the entire community for a day full of excitement, competition, and hometown pride. Hosted by the Robertsdale Band Booster Club, this event features a wide variety of vehicles including classic cars, muscle cars, trucks, and custom builds, all competing for trophies and bragging rights.


At the same time, chili teams will be firing up their best recipes, serving up bold flavors as they compete to be named the best chili in town. Guests can stroll through rows of incredible vehicles, sample chili, connect with local vendors, and enjoy a lively, family-friendly atmosphere.


More than just a great day of fun, this event directly supports the Robertsdale High School Golden Bear Band, helping provide essential resources, equipment, and opportunities for students to continue growing in a program built on excellence, discipline, and community support. Join us on November 14th and be part of something special.
