🔥📣 Something wicked hot is coming to the main stage…

For the first time ever in New England, Smokin Ed’s Pepper X™ is coming to the New England Hot Sauce Fest.

The World’s HOTTEST pepper! Averaging a staggering 2.69 million Scoville Heat Units, it’s over 1.5x hotter than the Carolina Reaper—and nearly 300x hotter than a jalapeño.

Created by Smokin’ Ed Currie after more than a decade of development, this pepper was built for one thing: extreme heat.

Different versions. One epic main event.
Details coming soon…

🍦Please help us welcome Uhlman’s Ice Cream, a Massachusetts-based ice cream shop, as a first-time food vendor at the New England Hot Sauce Fest!

Known for their small-batch, handcrafted ice cream made with high-quality ingredients, Uhlman’s serves up rich, classic flavors alongside creative seasonal favorites.

And let’s be honest… you’re probably going to need something cold between all those hot sauce samples 🔥🍦

🌶️📣 We’re excited to welcome Tulsi Restaurant, an Indian restaurant out of Kittery, Maine, as a first-time food vendor at the New England Hot Sauce Fest!

Owner Raj has actually been coming to the fest the past two years just to enjoy the heat — and this year, he’s stepping behind the table 🔥

Tulsi is famous for authentic Indian cuisine that pulls flavors from across regions of India, with bold spices, fresh ingredients, and plenty of heat.

Please give them a warm welcome and make sure to stop by their booth!
