ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
More than a food festival
We love everything related to food and spicy food, drinks, music, and shared moments.
Sofia Chilli Fest is the place where we bring people together through the magic of food and the fire of spicy flavors.
For us, food and the love of spicy food are much more than just a taste or a spice.
They unite the family.
They create special moments with friends.
And when we share and celebrate them together, they leave lasting memories and build community.
This is the reason we created Sofia Chilli Fest – the first festival of its kind in Bulgaria, dedicated to hot peppers and the culture surrounding them.
We started in 2024 with the dream of bringing together spicy food lovers from across the country and beyond. Our idea was to offer more than just food – we wanted to inspire, ignite passion, and showcase the magic behind small, local producers.
Sofia Chilli Fest is an experience that includes everything:
- Unique dishes and drinks prepared by local and international producers.
- A farmers market with spicy products that will ignite your taste buds.
- A children's area with games and activities inspiring the next generation to love food.
- Specialized lectures and demonstrations that reveal the secrets of pungency.
- And of course, unique music and activities that create an unforgettable atmosphere
In 2025, we proved once again that hot food brings people together!
If in 2024 we lit the spark, in 2025 we lit a real fire.
Sofia Chilli Fest is back with even more flavor, even more people and even more hot energy. World champions, international guests, hot competitions, culinary demonstrations, music, craft beer and thousands of fans turned Chilli Hills Farm into the hottest place in Bulgaria.
Because spicy is much more than a taste – it is an adventure that is shared.
And you have proven once again that this community is getting more and more epic!
The worst is yet to come this October!
In 2026, Sofia Chilli Fest will once again bring together the most ardent fans of hot peppers, world champions, top producers and some of the best culinary experts in two days filled with flavor, adrenaline and festival energy. We are preparing the largest edition yet, because we believe that each year can be even more legendary than the previous one.
Grab your friends, bring the family and get ready for the hottest weekend of fall!
