The Annual Chili Cook-off is a chili tasting event and community fair sponsored by McAuliffe Elementary staff. Profits are used to offset school supplies, fund field trips, purchase playground equipment, provide planners for every student, and purchase classroom technology, replenish art supplies, maintain library levels and so much more. Your contribution is greatly appreciated!

Over the past 17 years, the Chili Cook-off has grown to be the pinnacle of winter activities for businesses and the over 600 McAuliffe families throughout the Lewisville, Flower Mound, and Highland Village, Texas area. Attendance in 2022 topped 6,000!

Children pay $10 to play on the inflatables and carnival rides all night. The chili tasting is free to the community. There are two stages with entertainment; there is great food, and there's definitely something for everyone!
