Broad Street Green
Windsor, Connecticut 06095

The Windsor Chamber of Commerce sponsors an annual chili cook-off on the Saturday before Columbus Day every year. Each business or individual contestant chooses a theme for their booth and cooks a unique chili recipe that you can try for $1 each. Proceeds to benefit Windsor Chamber business and community programs.

Live music by Sabor a Timba - back by popular demand, and participants dressed in costume to accompany the booth's theme make this a fun and lively family event each fall. The recipes are amazing!

Sabor a Timba takes "Caribe Hispano" and blends it with a touch of jazz. Two trombones, one trumpet, flute /sax, bongo player and singers!

On the other end of the green will be the following two fun community events:
