“The K105.3 Fall Fest and Chili Classic offers great free musical entertainment all day and this year will be no different,” MMG President and Owner Katina McKibbin said. “The event, on Sept. 28, has been a mainstay in downtown Jackson for the past three years and this year is shaping up to be another fun day for all. We hope to see everyone there in a couple of short weeks.”

The Fall Fest and Chili Classic opens to the public at Noon on Sept. 28 with vendors in the streets and a free kids’ kingdom. The kids’ kingdom will feature a variety of family-friendly activities at Horace Blackman Park courtesy of the Jackson Downtown Development Authority (DDA).

The Chili Classic will be held on Michigan Ave. between S. Jackson and Mechanic St. A Chili tasting wristband is $5.00 to purchase beginning at noon, and tasting opens up at 2:00 p.m. MMG recommends arriving sooner than later as the chili is extremely popular and runs out quickly. Dozens of local businesses are participating by preparing at least 10 gallons of chili from scratch on site, and even a few preparing salsa as well, which is almost as fun to watch as it is to taste and vote.

A full schedule of events, including the lineup of musicians, can be found at www.K1053.com/fallfest. MMG would like to thank presenting sponsors Tripp’s Collision, County National Bank, Bud Light, The Brokerage House Real Estate, and Industrial Steel Treating for their part in making this event possible for the Jackson community. The event has over 20 sponsors total, all of which are invaluable to the success of the event, including the presenting sponsors.
