🌶️ Chilli Fest Willunga is back for its 8th year!
Get ready for a fun-filled weekend the whole family can enjoy — not just the chilli fanatics!
For the serious chilli-lovers, we’ve got over 20 stalls packed with fiery goodness — think chilli sauces, jams, condiments, dips, chips, and even chilli lollies. You can grab a new chilli plant to grow at home, pick up some hot cooking tips, and get expert gardening advice from local legends Sophie Thompson and Kim Syrus.
🔥 Don’t miss the SA Chilli Eating Championship hosted by Chilli Philli — it’s happening on Saturday at 2:00pm, and it’s always a crowd favourite!
New for 2026, we’re adding some extra spice with a chilli-themed Art Show and Hot Hat Competitions — with prizes up for grabs each day.
If you’re not that into chilli, don’t worry — there’s plenty for you too! Browse local artisan stalls featuring handmade knives, boards, jewellery, watercolours, and more. There’ll also be free kids’ activities, including face painting and henna art.
Then kick back, grab a drink, and chilli out in our green space while listening to awesome local musicians and enjoying some tasty food and local brews.
