Every September, thousands of heat seekers and curious foodies descend on our small community for the Similkameen Sizzle – Canada’s only hot pepper festival! This free, family-friendly celebration on September 20th turns up the heat with fiery fun, live music and a whole lot of sweating… because life’s too short to live mild!
But don’t worry – whether you’re a chili champ or a mild-mannered muncher, there’s something for everyone: kids’ activities, cold drinks, good vibes and plenty to discover. Every year brings something new!
