Pasco’s Fiery Foods Festival – Sept. 9th

This year, Downtown Pasco is turning up the heat with an extraordinary collaboration that unites two of our community’s most cherished events! Mark your calendars for Saturday, Sept. 9, as the annual Fiery Foods Festival and the Pasco Farmers Market come together for a day filled with flavor, fun, and community connection.

The Pasco Farmers Market is a beloved fixture in our community, taking place every Saturday from May to October. It’s a vibrant hub where families, friends, and food enthusiasts gather to savor fresh local produce and discover new culinary delights.

A Feast for the Senses
Imagine your favorite farmers market experiences, now enhanced with chili pepper contests, fiery flavors, live music, dancing, and more! It’s a combination that celebrates the existing market activities while introducing exciting new elements that will tantalize your taste buds.
This feast for the senses will last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Peanuts Park. Sample a unique blend of foods and spices and watch local VIPs in a pepper-eating challenge — or, if you’re feeling bold, enter the contest yourself!

More than Just Food

The fun doesn’t stop with the food. Live musical performances and a DJ will create a festive atmosphere, and there’s even a designated kids’ area to ensure a fantastic family outing. And don’t forget to explore the expanded vendor booths, offering everything from local crafts to international flavors. This event is for anyone who appreciates the hotter things in life — bold flavors, exciting cultures and lively entertainment. It’s a celebration of food, fun and music.
This unique collaboration is a golden opportunity for vendors and businesses. With an expected attendance of 1,000 eager taste-testers, it’s the perfect platform to showcase your culinary talents or promote your products.
