About this Event

The Community Chill Night is DIY Lowell’s annual community-building fundraiser. Register early and pay a $10 suggested–but no minimum–donation, sample as many of the chilis and stews you want. ($15 suggested donation at the door, $8 suggested for 18 and under). In addition, the Community Chill Night features:

- Live entertainment

- Family-friendly games and activities

- Community awards such as “Lowell Volunteer of the Year”

- Our famous “Do-it-Yourself” Sundae Bar (A “chilly” dessert)

- Beer, seltzer, and cider sales

Our theme this year? Celebrating 200 Years of Community, 200 Years of Lowell. We’re celebrating Lowell's Bicentennial by focusing on the community that's made it special for the last 200 years. Expect stories, decorations, and activities that honor that history while looking toward our future! This is in addition to the adult, restaurant, and favorite multicultural Traditional Spicy Stew tasting that is the highlight of the event!

All proceeds go to DIY Lowell, a grassroots group dedicated to helping community members make small-scale projects and events happen together. We connect people with ideas to funding, technical assistance, and most importantly to one another. Our goals are to use small-scale projects to build lasting, exciting public space improvements; civic engagement skills among youth and adults; and bridges between our diverse communities.
