The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival

Aug30

The long-standing Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival is back to celebrate its 36th anniversary. Take on the heat by sampling hundreds of hot sauces, cool down with beverages, dine on local eats, relax with live music, and support a great cause.

Get fired up and eat the heat with local and regional commercial hot sauce bottlers! Our panel of celebrity hot sauce judges will announce winners at the festival along with your vote for the People's Choice awards.

This year's festival lands at Radio East, a favorite spot in East Austin, with tickets required to get in. Grab yours here.

Celebrating 36 years of the pepper-filled event and support our community. See you there!
