Hot Sauce Fun Fact – Hot Sauce Tradeshows, Expos and Festivals

Tradeshows and Expos and Festivals, Oh My!

A super fun way to sample hot sauces and actually meet the artisan makers behind those creations is to attend a hot sauce festival or expo. It’s a great way to spend a day or two surrounded by hundreds of hot sauces made from every corner of the US and often times a select few from overseas offering international flavors. The international brands are especially intriguing because they have indigenous ingredients like vegetables, fruits and spices that are not readily available here in the states.

Over the years the number of festivals has increased dramatically, show producers and promoters seem to have been doing their homework and strategically placing these festivals and expos around the country. With the placement of these festivals scatted about, it helps with travel costs and hot sauce fans don’t have to travel as far to attend and enjoy a show, many are within driving distance and a lucky few have them very close to home, almost in their backyards so to speak.

As hot sauce tradeshows, festivals and expos continue to draw big crowds, opens the doors for new shows to pop up and attempt to copy the success template laid out. To us, this is very exciting and the thought of more hot sauce lovers and future Chileheads supporting the industry, means the growth in the industry will continue. Just think about it, it’s honestly a great time to be a Chilehead. So get out there, do some research, find a festival that’s close to you, and take in everything spicy that they have top offer.
