Hot Chili & Cool Cars

On Saturday, Sept. 19, classic cars, chili booths and vendors will line Pacific Street in Rocklin from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce's Hot Chili & Cool Cars event. This year is the Sweet 16th anniversary of the event. Hot Chili & Cool Cars is one of the area's largest street faires, with thousand attending each year. Families who come to this free event can expect to enjoy a chili cook-off with dozens of competitors and a contest featuring over 150 classic cars, as well as a variety of vendors, live entertainment, music, crafts and kids' activities. Newest of all this year are the Midway games and Toilet Races -- a race of the Rocklin Chamber's very own porcelain hotrods.
