Westwood Chamber 16th Annual Chowder Cook-Off

Head over the hill to Westwood for one of the tastiest traditions in Lassen County, as the Westwood Area Chamber of Commerce hosts their 16th Annual Chowder Cook-Off on Saturday, January 17th.

This popular winter event promises “fun for the entire family” and serves as the perfect way to warm up during the chilly month of January.

A Culinary Competition
Local chefs and home cooks will be battling it out for bragging rights and cash prizes for the best chowder. Whether you prefer a creamy clam chowder, a corn chowder, or a unique signature recipe, this is the place to be to sample the best the area has to offer.

Event Details
The event takes place at the Westwood Visitors Center. The tasting and festivities kick off at 12:00p.m. and will run until 3:00p.m. – or until the chowder is gone!

Tasting Kits are sold for $8, allowing attendees to sample the entries and help decide the winners.

While you taste, enjoy the atmosphere with live music by Feather River Revival throughout the afternoon.

The Chamber is currently looking for cooks who think they have the winning recipe.
