Congratulations to the 2023 Grand Champions:
Red Wally’s and White Country Kettle

The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce thanks all who participated and have supported our event for the past 34 years!

For 2024 and the 35th Anniversary of our event:

The 35th Chowderfest hosted by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce will NOT be happening in Beach Haven in 2024. An alternative event has taken its place.

Inaccurate reporting in an April 10 article has caused some concerns from members, the public, and nonprofits regarding the Southern Ocean County Chamber and our Chowderfest event. At the Borough of Beach Haven's April 8 public meeting, there was a presentation made by the Hunger Foundation and Beach Haven Chamber.

Chowderfest - the beginning

It has been said that good food is the genuine foundation of happiness, that may be why Chowderfest has always be so well grounded. From legions of dedicated “Chowderhead” supporters that span over a generation, to talented chefs and restaurateurs that perfect award winning recipes that have helped shape culinary legends. The story of Chowderfest begins with a core group of volunteers and business owners who were active with Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce in the 1980s. They saw the need to expand the season to continue to bring crowds into local shops, restaurants and lodging. The concept of the Chowderfest Cook Off was developed before the popularity of restaurant throw downs and consumer driven commentary. Pop Culture has allowed the format of the Chowderfest Cook Off Classic to become a reality show that plays out in real time that all ticket holders and chowder maestros work in harmony to make happen.
