Bristol heats up as the Bristol PepperFest returns Saturday, October 5th, from 2 PM – 7 PM
at its new location: The Downtown Center (810 State Street)!
This free event, coordinated by Believe in Bristol, will feature culinary demonstrations, hot pepper plant sales, sauces, food trucks and other “spicy” vendors, a beer garden, and live music.
Another new feature this year, we are welcoming a new sponsor for our wing eating competition: Delta Blues! The Delta Blues Blazin' Blues Hot Wing Showdown will give up to twelve contestants the opportunity to win if they are the first to finish a plate of extreme wings.
Only Burns Twice Chili Peppers will also have a deck of 10 ultra-hot peppers for up to twelve contestants to sweat during the Ultimate “Beat the Heat” Pepper Eating Challenge.
Pre-registration for both eating competitions will open mid-September.
Cornhole Tournament Registration
Bristol PepperFest will also include a cornhole tournament fundraiser for Believe in Bristol. Registration for the double elimination tournament is a minimum donation of $25 per team.
