It's Getting Hot in Here: DC101 Chili Cook-Off

Red Jump Suit Apparatus
SATURDAY: Is it that time of year already? No sooner have we stuffed our sweaters to the back of the closet than we're dusting off the flip-flops and heading out to the DC101 Chili Cook-Off.

RFK Stadium hosts the annual bacchanal of grease, peppers and, this year, big names in '90s rock. Rain or shine, expect to hear the sounds of the recent(ish) past when Puddle of Mudd, Papa Roach, Shinedown, Third Eye Blind, the Offspring and Red Jump Suit Apparatus, left, take the stage.

Chili samples are available in the competition area, but it's not the main attraction — this show annually kicks off the summer season of large-and-in-charge rock festivals.

» RFK Stadium, 2400 East Capitol St. SE; Sat., May 16, noon-9 p.m., $35; 800-551-7328. (Stadium-Armory)
