Chile Fest is a celebration of tradition, community, and purpose! After 20 years as a Farmington favorite, this beloved event is now hosted by Come As You Are, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals find hope and healing. Join us as we carry on the tradition with delicious chile, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and local vendors—all while raising awareness and support for our mission. It’s more than just a fest—it’s a chance to come together as a community and make a difference.

We’re currently looking for:

  • Cooks to bring the heat and flavor
  • Volunteers to help make the event run smoothly
  • Sponsors to support our mission and this community tradition
  • Vendors to showcase local food, art, and goods

If you’re interested — or know someone who would be — please reach out to Darin directly:
