Why fight this heat when you can be a part of it? This weekend’s Hot & Spicy Fest is going to be filled with 40+ vendors cooking up spicy dishes from all around the world. There will be plenty of activities and entertainment planned that are perfect for kids and adults alike, from music to dancing to challenges!

To keep all festival-goers cool, there’s plenty of splish-splashy fun to be had at the cool-down area in collaboration with SNST. There will be a misting tent, foam cannons, and more fun ways to beat the heat!
