The weather may be cooling down, but the festival season is heating up. Pitmaster John Lewis and his team are preparing for the seventh annual Lewis Hatch Chile Roast.
Join the celebration at Rancho Lewis on Sunday, Oct. 6, from 1 to 5 p.m. There will be:
- 3,000+ pounds of fresh Hatch Chiles
- Tastings with ~30 of the area’s top chefs
- Live music
- Chile-eating contest
- Edmunds Oast Brewing Co.'s chile-infused beer
- Kiddie corrals
- Merchandise for sale
The Hatch chiles will be roasted on-site and sold in one- and five-pound bags. You can also pre-order roasted chiles for festival pickup.
Admission is free and open to the public with a suggested $10 donation to Friends of Joseph Floyd Manor, a nonprofit, which aims to provide advocacy, resources, and support to its residents. Did you know? Last year, the event raised enough funds to provide groceries to residents for over a year.
