Sydney’s Moore Park is set to bring the heat this autumn with the launch of the Sydney Superhot Chilli & BBQ Festival, a fiery celebration of spice, smoke, and community. Taking place at the Market Canopy in the Entertainment Quarter, the festival will introduce Sydneysiders to an interactive, family-friendly event dedicated to all things chilli and barbecue.
A Spicy First for Sydney
Scheduled for Sunday, 18 May 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the festival is the brainchild of Ms Habanero, who has successfully run similar events in Queensland for a decade. She said Sydney was long overdue for a high-quality chilli festival that caters to the whole community.
The event will showcase four intense chilli-eating challenges, live cooking demonstrations, and a range of activities suitable for all ages. While spice lovers can push their limits in the competitions, those who prefer milder flavours can explore hundreds of locally made chilli products from Australian producers. Festivalgoers can also enjoy a live performance from a renowned Satriani tribute artist, adding a musical element to the fiery festivities.
A Venue Designed for All Weather
With the festival set in the Market Canopy, organisers are confident the venue will provide a comfortable and weather-proof experience. Event partners at the Entertainment Quarter have expressed excitement about hosting an event that appeals to a broad audience, from dedicated chilli fans to families looking for a fun weekend outing.
Festival organisers also emphasised that the event is designed with inclusivity in mind. While the spotlight is on chilli, there will be kid-friendly activities, both free and paid, to ensure an engaging experience for all visitors.
A Challenge for the Bold
Those looking to test their limits can register for one of the four chilli-eating challenges, with places limited to 12 contestants per round. Participants will compete for prize money, trophies, and exclusive chilli-themed rewards, with organisers promising a thrilling showdown of endurance against capsaicin.
Registrations will open closer to the event, and organisers encourage interested participants to keep an eye on the festival’s social media channels for updates.
An Event for the Whole Community
The Sydney Superhot Chilli & BBQ Festival is not just about the heat—it’s about bringing people together. With a focus on local businesses, food culture, and family-friendly entertainment, the event aims to create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone, regardless of their spice tolerance.
For those eager to experience the flavours, festivities, and fiery challenges, the festival promises a one-of-a-kind day out at Moore Park’s Entertainment Quarter.
