Central Coast Chilli Festival

Overview

Spice is big business, and people want their tastebuds more than tickled. If you're a spice lover, it's the perfect time to participate in "The Hottest Day on the Central Coast".

This free event celebrates all things capsaicin. Come down to Memorial Park in The Entrance on Sunday, June 15, to peruse the food trucks, taste spicy chilli products and — the biggest draw of them all — take part (or watch) in a chilli-eating competition.

If you prefer your meals a little lower down the Scoville scale, there's plenty of milder food for you to enjoy, as well as a selection of wines and beers. Plus, there's live music throughout the day and a range of market stalls, meaning there's plenty for spice lovers and haters alike.
