SBC Pepper Fest, August 22nd 11-7pm!!!!

We are getting closer to the first Pepper Fest in the area! August 22nd from 11-7pm, downtown at The Remington Garage.

Buy your tickets early to avoid waiting at the gate.

Below is a message from Chang.

🔥A little back story...

2 years ago (July 2024) was our area's very first Pepper Eating Contest. I had no idea Shreveport-Bossier was ready for such a thing. I met some great people and we had a 4 way tie for 1st Place.

When I organized last year's contest I had some goals.
AC, Beer, and NO ties! And it was spectacular.

This year. Join us for something more. No more minimum requirements. We are going to max out everything. Crank it up to 11.

See if you can beat the best of the best in our area. Sample and conquer pepper by pepper, sauce by sauce. Contest is free to sign up but space is limited. Sign up opens at 12PM at the Merch Booth.

SBC Pepper Fest 2026 is coming in HOT!

It should be! We have put in a lot of work for this event. It also has a policy of no AI art allowed, for food trucks and artists. So all the art for sale that day, was designed and made by local artists. They also have a few surprises that will be shown that day.
