Hi Perth Chilliheads,
Well it's that time of year again. The Araluen's Chilli Festival has been running for many years now and is getting bigger and stronger every year.
March 9th and 10th will showcase a barrage of Chilli products, tasting and of course HOT Chilli that will blow away all your senses and leave you mind blowing numb!
There will be cooking demonstrations, roaming entertainment and of course the Beer garden where you can relax with a Chilli Beer, Vodka etc and listen to some music.
Again this year it is being held at the Esplande in Freo.
Here is a bit of info-
In 2013 the festival will be held on Saturday March 9 and Sunday March 10 from 10am to 5pm on the Fremantle Esplanade.
Over 80 stallholders will be participating in a celebration of everything Chilli, including fresh foods, plants, pickles, chutneys, olives, cheese, chocolate, wine, beers and much more. This year we have a great mix of stallholders all offering a diverse range of interesting and unusual products.
In co-operation with the Australian Meat Industry Council the Butchers beef burger and pie competition will take place on centre stage from 12pm to 2pm both days. Tastings of these products will be on offer for the audience to sample. Kids in the Kitchen is a new concept to the festival. Children will be invited to take part in sausage-making and create some interesting fruit and vegetables skewers. Kids in the Kitchen is open to children from 9 years to 12 years of age attending the festival and a large range of fruit and vegetables will available so they can test their creative skills. These classes are free to children attending the festival and will take place near on centre stage at various times during the day.
Another first for the festival is 3 performances by Dance Workshop on Sunday. A number of dances will dance a variety of styles from Latin, Bollywood, Jazz and Flamenco. Once again we will have a number of roving acts from stilt walkers to a very colourful Mariachi Band. Tabas.Co are a Fremantle based group with no shortage of influences with members from France, Zimbabwe, Australian and the USA. They will be on stage Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 11am great mix of toe tapping and hip swinging music.
For the many people attending the festival that like the cooking demonstrations we have Chef Dale showing you just how easy it is to cook with fresh produce. The popular ‘Sow-a-seed’ and Beyond Gardens will also be back so kids can plant a seed, take it home and watch it grow.
The 2013 festival will have something for everyone.
Entry Fee: Adults $15 (children 0 – 16 free when accompanied by an adult)
Times: 10am to 5pm both days
Venue: The Esplanade, Fremantle WA
Well I hope to see all Chilliheads(and even the non-chilliheads) getting down for some great fun!
I definately will be there giving those sauce makers a run for their money.
Happy Chilli Growing,
Micca
