The 2012 Sawtell Chilli Festival is on Saturday 7th July 2012 from 10am, so save the date and get r ready to "Turn Up The Heat" on the Coffs Coast this July!

THERE is no better way to ward off a “chilly” winter day than by spending it at the annual Sawtell Chilli Festival held on First Avenue in Sawtell.

The festival offers a huge variety of options . . . and if you don’t like chillies, there’s still plenty of non-chilli foods, music and entertainment to choose from.

Australia’s leading chilli product manufacturers and Sawtell Foodies will put a diversity of cuisine on show.

A great day out for families, regardless of whether you like it hot and spicy or more mild, there will be a huge range of stalls, cafés and restaurants to cater to your tastes. Plus kids’ rides, entertainment and music, chilli tasting, competitions and giveaways.
