Sofia Chile Fest 2024

The first edition of Sofia Chili Fest turned the Chilli Hills farm in the village of Lozen into the epicenter of hotness. Two days of fire, flavors and emotions brought together thousands of visitors around over 140 varieties of hot peppers from all over the world.

The League of Fire international finals crowned the new hot food champions, while the Hot Bazaar showcased producers from across Europe. A kids' zone, live music and workshops rounded out the family-friendly program.

This is where the story began, and it gets more intense with each passing year. Check out the highlights from 2024 in the video and gallery below.
