Get ready for the hottest day out in Auckland at NZ's Ninth Annual Hot Sauce Festival! 

Packing more punch than ever before, join like-minded chili heads on Saturday 25 May from 11am to taste your way around a selection of local and international hot sauces before watching the NZ Chilli Eating Comp Final take place on the big stage! 

Turn up the heat and get amongst the special Hot Sauce Festival street eats, and when things get too hot to handle, save your taste buds for some award-winning craft beer brewed right on-site.
