It is the 17th Anniversary of Pinellas Pepper Fest on April 13-14, 2024 and it’s going to be HOTTER than ever before! This hot n’ spicy food show is painfully delicious, 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 and more.

Let your temperature rise with live music heating up the stage throughout the 2-day extravaganza.

Pepper Fest alumni will be prepared for the traditional hot stuff contests, including the Extreme Lolli Lick-A-Thon (the hottest lollypop in the world, sponsored by Intensity Academy) and the Jalapeno Pepper Eating Contest. The competition will be fierce as contenders vie for the awards in each category.

The event is pet and family friendly, and admission and parking are complimentary.

Date: April 13-14, 2024
