Who?
Errbody. Really it's a MIVE event, but open to everybody. It's still an auto event, so try and bring something cool/fun/unique/VW/Audi. It's not a show, nor a competition. Although we will be having a chili competition :biggrin:
What?
The Belle Isle Chili Fest is our longest running event in the MIVE community. This will be our 14th year!
It's Chilly, we eat Chili. There is a $5 suggested donation for those of you who want to sample some of the fine eats. This goes to support the Site and future functions. Look for a "Stuff Bringers" thread if you want to help out, show everybody you make the best chili in the state/province(eh), or like to keep stuff warm, etc.
Where?
Belle Isle duh.
Really it's at the Remick Band Shell Parking lot on the South West side of the Island
Approximate address for the directionally impaired is: 7651 Muse Rd. Detroit, MI
When?
Sunday October 18th 12p-4ish ( yep, I kept it away from Thanksgiving weekend, AGAIN)
Yes, it's the same day as the Detroit Marathon again, there has not been an issue to get on the island, as long as you enter from E. Grand Avenue.
Why?
It's just what we do this time of year. One last time to get your ride out before you tear it down for your winter projects. One last time to hang with the good people of MIVE while we can still see each others faces without hats and scarves.
Woah!
We love Detroit, We love Belle Isle, We would love to keep having this event. Don't be a dipshit. The island is now patrolled by our friends, the Michigan State Police as well as the DNR. Let's show them how awesome we are, by being cool and respecting our surroundings.
This year Belle Isle is officially a State park, so you will either need your recreation passport on your plate ( at $11 a year well worth it!) or it will be a $9 daily pass.
