Chillogan Chilli and Rum Festival 2024

Sunday 2nd June, 2024

11am to 7pm

What a cracker of an event it was!

Thanks to all who supported and to all our vendors who came along to show off their delicious wares, participate in the challenges and generally enjoy the beautiful weather.

We raised $850 from raffles run on the day by RSL Springwood Tri-Services Sub-Branch

The sum of $9,500 was raised at our AfterBurn Bar, to help fill the coffers of Vietnam Vets MC, who do such great work in the community!

Well done to the organisers for facilitating such a generous donation under a Community Liquor Permit. That’s real community spirit!

Gallery will be updated soon!

See you at Briz Chilli and Beer Fest – Sunday 27th October, 2024 at Ballistic Brewing Co, Salisbury.

Springwood RSL

Bar profits will benefit Vietnam Veterans & Veterans MC, and we are donating $1.00 from each ticket to support the work of Springwood RSL Sub-Branch who tend to Veterans in the Logan area who are experiencing homeless and related circumstances.
