Now more than 25 years old, the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival continues to bring the heat to Austin at the end of every summer. This year, the annual festival kicks off at 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 26th with more than 350 homemade hot sauces for guests to taste-test. The $5 entry donation to the Central Texas Food Bank (or three nonperishable food items) is well worth it.
Come to Fiesta Gardens and sample the hot sauces, then cool down with a frosty pint from Real Ale Brewing Company or a scoop of something sweet from Amy's Ice Creams. Other local eateries like Eldorado Cafe ATX, Fork in the Road, and Emojis Grilled Cheese Bar will also dole out grub. All the while, Grammy-winning band Little Joe y La Familia will entertain the crowds along with other live performers.
