The spice is back. The annual Hot Sauce Festival will return for a face-to-face event this year, according to promoter Austin Chronicle.
The 31st edition opens in the Far Out Lounge and on stage from 3pm to 9pm on September 12th, a move from the festival’s usual home in Fiesta Gardens. The event is suitable for all age groups.
“This year’s Hot Sauce Festival is a celebration of all hot and spicy things and features hot sauce samples from 15 commercial bottlers, specialty sauces and peppers, cookbooks and other gourmet dishes,” said a press release.

This year’s competition is clarified on the festival website: “Unfortunately, for security reasons, we cannot hold an individual competition this year. All hot sauces must be dispensed in a restaurant or commercial kitchen.
Expect live music from Ley Line, Geto Gala, Indoor Creature, and Van Mary.
The festival, which began in 1990, also serves as a fundraiser for the Central Texas Food Bank. Last year the Hot Sauce Festival took a break from personal activities and sold hot sauce kits for the home to raise money for the chalkboard.
Tickets for the Hot Sauce Festival, $ 10, are on sale now. Half of every ticket sale goes to the blackboard. Visit austinchronicle.com/hotsauce for more information.
