This years festival is touted to be bigger and better than the last, with a host of fun-filled family entertainment throughout the day, including a live cooking demonstration from internationally renowned chef, author and TV personality, Jason Roberts.
Roberts, former host and cast member of Channel 9s Fresh and ABCs The Chew, and current Executive Chef at The Bistro at Manly Pavillion, will lead the entertainment line up which also includes family favourite The Hot Potato Band performing live throughout the day.
Known to cause a severe case of happy fever, The Hot Potato Band is sure to put a smile on your face in an incredibly unique live show.
The bands unique sound comes from the absence of a single drum kit, bass guitar and electrified instruments.
Two drummers create synchronised grooves on what would be a deconstructed drum kit.
The baritone saxophone mimics the part of a rhythm guitar and the bands huge array of horns cover catchy chorus lines and provide a beautiful harmonic cloud for Ben, the vocalist, to float above.
In addition, the festival will test who can best handle the heat by hosting its first Chilli Eating Competition, with registrations now open.
This years festival will again be held at Archer Racecourse, Nowra, with gates open from 9.30am until 4pm.
With over 50 stalls on offer, it promises to be an exciting celebration of all things chilli, chocolate and everything in between - including health, lifestyle and gourmet food products to eat and also take home.
The $5 entry fee for all guests will include entry into the prize draw with a host of deliciously spicy chilli products from the stalls up for grabs.
The infamous Mr Chilli will also be on hand to judge the best chilli and chilli chocolate products available on the day, with three coveted awards to be presented to the most outstanding Exhibitors.
The bar will be open throughout the day, featuring specialties including Patron XO Cafe Chilli & Chocolate Tequila and Chilli Beer, as well as all the regular favourites for you to sit back and relax with while enjoying the days festivities.
Join the fun for a tantalising day out and bring your friends and family along for the hottest date on the South Coast.
