TOS Chili Cook-Off with a Dash of Trivia!

The Tampa Oratorio Singers are hosting their TOS Chili Cook-Off with a Dash of Trivia at Palma Ceia Presbyterian Church on Sunday, October 25. It runs from 3 PM to 5 PM, so it's an afternoon thing rather than a late-night one.

The afternoon is built around two things: a chili buffet supper and a music-themed trivia competition. You get to eat your fill of chili while you compete, and the trivia is focused on music, so it's a good fit for a choir's fundraiser. They encourage you to bring your own trivia team name, which is half the fun of these things—the more creative the better.

Behind the scenes, the Tampa Oratorio Singers are the ones running the whole thing. They're a local choir, and the money from the tickets goes toward their 2026/2027 concert season, so your entry helps keep them singing through the next year. It's a straightforward way to support a local musical group while getting a meal and some competition out of it.

Tickets are $25, and they tend to fill up fast, so it's worth grabbing yours early if you're planning to go. The church is at 3501 W San Jose St in Tampa, and the whole thing runs from 3 PM to 5 PM on Sunday, October 25.
