2026 Cincinnati Fire Museum Firefighter Cook-Off

Join the Cincinnati Fire Museum for an evening celebrating local heroes and great food at their annual Firefighter Cook-Off. Firefighters from around the community will showcase their culinary skills, preparing a variety of dishes for you to sample. After trying the offerings, you'll get to vote for your favorite creation. A team of professional judges, including chefs from Sudova, Sixteen Bricks, and Court Street Kitchen, will also be weighing in on the winners. Beyond the food competition, the event features live music from Aprina to keep the energy up throughout the evening. Raffle prizes will be drawn, giving attendees chances to win while they enjoy themselves. Bring your family and friends, come with an appetite, and know that your participation directly supports the museum's children's fire safety education programs. It's a fun way to spend time together while backing an important community cause.
