The event happens from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday Oct. 21 and is sponsored by Oklahoma City's VI Marketing and Branding. A spokesperson for VI Marketing and Branding told News 9 via email that Park Avenue will be blocked off in front of their office for the event.

Attendees will get three bowls of chili and a bottle of water or soda for a donation of at least $15.
