Chilli Fest

Overview

The Immigration Museum is celebrating all things hot and spicy at Chilli Fest, as part of their summer/autumn program focusing on food from across the globe, North South Feast West. From central America to the heart of Asia, chilli has brought a loving tear to many an eye and severe burn to the tongue. If you can’t get enough of the hot stuff, this mini-festival is for you.

The courtyard at the Immigration Museum will be taken over by Burn City Smokers for the barbecue of your spicy dreams. They'll also be serving up chilli cocktails for the adventurous drinker and Cornutopia will be providing the goods for our vegan and vego friends. For those keen to recreate the cocktails, Fred Siggins will be hosting a cocktail making workshop for an additional cost. Hot sauce documentary Sriracha will be screening throughout the day for the once endangered condiment, and for those looking to set their mouth on fire, there will be a hot sauce tasting competition. Things are going to get intense.

If you can’t stand the heat, you can cool off with some My Two Mums Ice Cream or a crisp beverage from the courtyard bar. On top of the fiery frivolities, Cash Savage and the Last Drinks will perform, and there'll be DJ sets by PBS’s Miss Goldie and DJ Sensi. You could say that’s one hot night out on the town. You could.
