“Columbus is such a great foodie city and a festival celebrating all things hot and spicy has been needed for a long time,” said CD102.5 President Randy Malloy.

Tickets, which start at just $15, include an engraved fork, festival beer glass, food samples and two beers or non alcoholic beverages. Additional information, like vendors and competition details, will be released closer to time of the festival on their Facebook page.
