A Celebration of Food, Community & Impact



The Seacoast Culinary Challenge is back—bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever! Hosted by the Lighthouse Credit Union Foundation, this electrifying culinary showdown brings together the region’s top chefs and restaurants in a live competition that showcases skill, creativity, and passion for the culinary arts.
But this is more than just a competition—it’s a movement. Every dish prepared, every ticket purchased, and every sponsor who steps up contributes to tackling food insecurity and empowering the next generation of culinary leaders.



Why Attend?

• Witness thrilling live cook-offs judged by culinary experts and community leaders.
• Support emerging talent and established chefs as they battle for the championship title.
• Fuel change by helping to fund the Community Fridge Coalition, an initiative that expands access to fresh food across New Hampshire and Maine.
• Reduce food waste through partnerships with local businesses and farmers.
• Connect with a passionate community dedicated to making a difference.

With a mission rooted in sustainable giving and member-driven impact, the Seacoast Culinary Challenge ensures that proceeds go directly toward supporting food security and education initiatives. Together, we can create real, lasting change—one meal, one volunteer, and one community at a time.

Join us at The Music Hall on October 29 and be part of this culinary revolution!
