COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A festival celebrating hot sauces and tongue-tingling snacks is returning this weekend in Columbus, with a lineup of fiery food vendors, local makers and competitions.
The Columbus Fiery Foods Festival is back from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday at Genoa Park along the Scioto Mile. This year, festival admission is free to emphasize a “deep-rooted passion for bringing people together through a shared love of spicy cuisine and cultural celebration,” co-organizer Mike Gallicchio said.
“By removing the entry fee, we aim to create an even more inclusive environment, allowing more hot and spicy enthusiasts and curious food lovers to experience the thrilling array of flavors and fiery fun that the festival has to offer,” Gallicchio said.
