The Town of Chili, located in Monroe County, is a suburb of Rochester, New York. Chili is a community that is contrasted by a suburban character primarily in the geographic area north of Black Creek and a rural agricultural character south of Black Creek. Chili has a variety of recreational areas including eight town parks, one county park, two museums, a disc golf course, a public nature area, two semi-private golf courses, and two boat launches - one on the Genesee River and one on Black Creek. Each year the town's annual summer festival, the 'Chili-E Fest' draws thousands of people to entertainment, food vendors, and a fabulous firework display.

A little behind-the-scenes look at Community Halloween!

There’s a lot that goes into transforming the Chili Community Center into one big Halloween celebration!

Our team has been busy planning, decorating, setting up activities, coordinating volunteers, and working with more than 30 local businesses and community organizations to bring this year’s event to life.

From spooky hallways and larger-than-life decorations to trick-or-treating, games, and all the fun happening inside the Chili Public Library, there’s a lot of teamwork happening behind the scenes.

These photos are just a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on. The best part is seeing it all come together for our community!

Community Halloween is TOMORROW!

🍂 CR Fall Fun Day 2026 🍂

What a great afternoon at Davis Park!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Chili Recreation Fall Fun Day and helped make the park such a fun place to be. From wagon rides and inflatables to pony rides, live music, our Community Picnic, Local Market, and all of the activities throughout the event, there was something happening everywhere you looked.

A special thank you to all of the local businesses, vendors, community groups, volunteers, and Town staff who helped bring the day together. Events like this are only possible because of the people and organizations who continue to show up and support our community.

We also want to thank Meg Tyo of Sweet Home Photography for capturing so many great moments from the day!

Thank you, Chili, for another memorable Fall Fun Day. We already can’t wait to do it again. Big thank you to Chili Public Library, Lions Club Of Chili, Adventures In Climbing, Heberle Stables, Hellaby Hill Farms, Schutts Apple Mill, Dave Turner Live, The Crew's Grill and Chili Parks Department.
