In the City of Havelock they have just celebrated their 29th annual festival.

More than 20,000 people consumed gallons and gallons of chili at the North Carolina State Chili Festival in Havelock.

On Saturday, attendees could buy small cups of chili for $1 from each of 15 different stations, offering everyone a variety from mild to the extremely hot.

Whether it’s green chili or red; spicy or mild, they’ve got you covered.

The event gets bigger every year, last year they ran out of chili, they don’t want that to happen again.

The competition is friendly but for most a secret ingredient is just that.

A red hot event keeping folks in the east coming back for more.
