Welcome to Bristol’s hottest half acre. 🌶️🔥
The legendary Beat the Heat Pepper Eating Challenge is back, with our local growers once again supplying the peppers that make this competition progressively more questionable with every round. 😂
Huge thanks to Harmony Springs Pepper Farm and A Different Chick Farm and Orchard for bringing the heat and helping us find out just how far our competitors are willing to go for PepperFest glory.
Think your taste buds can take it?
🌶️ Bristol PepperFest
📅 Saturday, September 5 | 2–7 p.m.
