This Sunday, 2 of my favorite things come together: with DIY and hot sauce combined, I turn into Homer Simpson from that episode when he eats a hot pepper.
In addition to tasting home brewed hot sauce, there’s also great music throughout the day. You can enter your own sauce the morning of competition, and admission is just a suggested donation of food or cash to our local food bank:
Presented by Capital Area Food Bank of Texas
Waterloo Park at 12th & Trinity
11am-5:30pm
FREE (Bring three nonperishable food items for the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas.)

Food vendors will provide a wide array of foods. This year the following restaurants will be on hand serving up their specialty dishes: Buffalo Billiards, Curra’s, Matt’s El Rancho, Oaxacan Tamaleo, Opal Divine’s, and Sun Garden Shaved Ice. Chips for the tasting tent will be donated by H-E-B.
