The 32nd annual Five Points Chili Cook-Off will be held Oct. 26.

The event, which takes place near Tanneyhill’s Group Therapy at 2107 Greene St., will pit local chili cooks against one another while giving hungry visitors the chance to taste dozens of chili selections, ranging from mild to five-alarm.
