Halloween Briz Chilli Fest 2022
This day-long celebration of face-melting tastiness is back — for Halloween.
Overview
Different people are scared by different things. Different folks can handle different levels of heat in their food, too. Do you get spooked by spice — but in a good way? If so, the Halloween Briz Chilli Fest is clearly for you.
Obviously, things will be getting hot in Rocklea at this returning fest — which is taking place around the most frightening day of the year in 2022. From 12–8pm on Saturday, October 29, everything will be tongue-tinglingly hot. Face-meltingly hot. Homer Simpson running, screaming and waving his hands around hot. That's what happens when you spice up your weekend with a chilli festival, after all.
Adding some zest to the Rocklea Showgrounds, there'll be plenty of stalls offering plenty of chilli — and not just in food form. Of course, there'll be enough edible hot hot heat to help you turn several different shades, but that's just part of the chilli fun. Chilli beer and chilli cocktails will all be on offer, and there's usually a chilli fancy dress competition. Basically, you'll be saying the word chilli so much that it no longer means anything.
Tickets are on sale now for $12, and the full lineup of activities also includes chilli-eating contests for those with cast-iron stomachs. This year, there'll be chilli pod, chilli-covered wings, chilli meatballs and ice cream laced with chilli, all ready for you to devour as much of as possible.
Also on the bill: a cooking demonstration by chef Matt Golinski, plus live music and other performances — with the event boasting spice on multiple fronts.
Our tip, and one we think you'll need: remember that milk is a chilli-lover's best friend.
