If you are a fan of spicy food, get ready because this November 8 comes a new edition of Picante Fest, the gastronomic event in Buenos Aires that celebrates the spicy culture with a day full of hot flavors, challenges and fun in Parque Patricios.
Picante Fest arrives: The Festival only for the brave and the contest Who Eats the Spiciest (people with hemorrhoids abstain).
The Picante Fest awaits you with more than 15 stands of artisan producers, a gastronomic patio, live music, talks, activities for all ages and the awaited “Who Eats the Spiciest” competition , where the bravest will test their resistance to fire (and its consequences for the body).
The Picante Fest 2025 is ideal if you like intense flavors and want to join the local spicy movement, because on the same day, all the country’s leading producers of sauces, ferments and smoked products, as well as exotic blends with chili peppers from all over the world, come together.
In addition, you will discover talks by specialists on cultivation, production and spicy gastronomy, and an area to rest, eat something delicious and enjoy good music outdoors.
