WMSE is putting some spice in your spring and turning up the heat with its 21st annual Rockabilly Chili fundraiser. Presented by Lakefront Brewery, WMSE’s Rockabilly Chili will take place Sunday, April 16 at 11 a.m. at the MSOE Kern Center, 1245 N. Broadway. Join thousands of chili lovers as they taste over 50 different chilis from restaurants, cafes, and caterers from all over Milwaukee.

Known as THE springtime event, WMSE’s Rockabilly Chili promises fun for the whole family. Chicken Shack DJ Johnny Z and Saturday Morning Car Tunes DJ Dietrich will spin, kids are invited to color and do puzzles on placemats, and Tom Crawford will MC! Guests can also test their taste buds with a new, special edition, very hot, hot sauce called Hellraiser. It was developed exclusively for WMSE by A&M Provisions. Trust us when we say it’s a hot one!

Attendees will once again determine which place has the best: Meat, Heat, Veggie, and Unique chili, and who has the hottest display.

Advance tickets go on sale on National Hot Sauce Day, Sunday January 22 for $15. Day-of tickets are $20, so buy early to save money. We are also offering a special—8 tickets for $100. Each ticket includes 4 chili samples.
