Big Chili Cook-Off 2009

Welcome Chili Fans!

Parking is very important to the continued growth and success of the Big Chili Cook-Off Music and Arts Festival.    

No parking at the Evergreen Lake House or Lake Point Center

Please note that access to Upper Creek Road will be restricted. We encourage you to use the designated spaces at Evergreen High School, Evergreen Rec Center, Hiwan Homestead, Elks Lodge or the Evergreen Rodeo grounds. There will be signs directing you to the lots. The shuttle will pick you up at any of these lots which are located every direction from the Lake House. We will have attendants at the Rodeo Grounds to assist you.

Drop off policy: For those who want to drop someone off and then park at the shuttle lots, we ask that this practice be limited to parties that include people with special needs or disabilities. Due to traffic concerns on Upper Bear Creek Road, we ask that able-bodied groups proceed directly to the shuttle lots. THERE IS NO EVENT PARKING AT THE LAKEPOINT CENTER, NOR AT THE LAKEHOUSE ITSELF. In addition, there will be a bus with a wheelchair lift that picks up at the Evergreen High School shuttle lot.

Parking lots Big Chili Cook-Off parking is available at Evergreen High School, Hiwan Homestead Park/Lutheran Church of the Cross, Evergreen Elks Lodge and the Rodeo Grounds. Shuttle service will be provided every 15 minutes from 11:00am until 6:30pm, and signs will be posted for those preferring to walk. There will be no parking at the Evergreen Lake House. No traffic will be allowed into the park during this event.
