The Best Chili And Chowder In Ocean City Is At The Music Pier This Weekend

OCEAN CITY, NJ — For the second consecutive year, the Music Pier is the place to go to get the finest chili and chowder in Ocean City. The Chili Chowder Festival returns to the Ocean City Music Pier on Sunday, Oct. 1, noon to 4 p.m. The Ocean City Restaurant Association launched the event last year, and member chefs prepared a variety of creative entries that were popular with hundreds of festival-goers.

This year, three platoons of the Ocean City Fire Department will compete in a “Chili Cook Off,” with proceeds benefitting the Ocean City Firefighters Association. Wristbands for the event are $15 for adults and $5 for kids, and are good for all the chili and chowder you can eat. They are on sale at www.eventbrite.com.

They are also on sale at all three Ocean City fire stations and on the weekend at Johnny B. Goode Ice Cream Parlor, 14th Street and Asbury Avenue. The fire stations are located at Sixth Street and Asbury Avenue; 29th Street and West Avenue; and 46th Street and West Avenue. The Music Pier is on the boardwalk between Eighth Street and Ninth Street.
