I Like it HOT! Festival

It’s the 24th anniversary of I Like It HOT! And it’s going to be HOTTER than ever before!

This painfully delicious food show is big on flavor and cooked up to be one of the hottest events of the season. Specialty exhibitors will tickle your tastebuds as they bring on distinctive, breathtaking and dynamite offerings in the form of sauces, salsas, seasonings, rubs, plants, food products, gadgets, kitchenware, hundreds of mild to wild samples, food trucks, live music and more.

Festival Alum will be prepared for the traditional hot stuff contests, including the favorite vendor competition, the Extreme Lolli Lick-A-Thon (the hottest lollypop in the world, sponsored by Intensity Academy) and the jalapeno pepper eating contest! Amateur competitions include BBQ, salsa, and hot sauce categories. The competition will be fierce as contenders vie for the awards in each category.

The event is pet and family-friendly. And for the less spicy-inclined, there will be plenty of sweet and other treats! Free admission and parking!
