The 2021 GrillFest was a fun and fabulous celebration of summer and outdoors. Over the course of 2 days in June, CHS Field held the event showing the hottest grills, burgers, beer, seltzers, spirits, and wines intermingled with home improvement stores and local artisans and makers.

The 2022 GrillFest will return to CHS Field in May 2022 and will celebrate the 10^th anniversary with mouth-watering food and drink and lively spring and summer fun.

Thank you to our 2021 sponsors and exhibitors.
