Wake up & smell the roasted chile.

Bring your appetite to the 18th Annual Chile Festival found at the Broadway and Houghton Marketplace from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 28.

The unique bazaar was created to support local artists, crafts, and small businesses. Plus, the marketplace has always helped in raising money for the Southern Arizona Animal Food Bank.

There’s plenty happening at the festival this year, too.

(GMT-07:00)

You’ll have the option to taste different kinds of chile, check out the chile that’s getting roasted and toasted, shop around for chile-themed jewelry and other gifts, and sip on prickly pear lemonade.

Admission is free so be sure to bring the along the entire gang/family or friends.

One more thing — there’s plenty of parking in the area, so that eliminates the thought of parking blocks away.

The Broadway and Houghton Marketplace is located near the Safeway at 10380 E. Broadway Blvd. You can keep up with the Broadway and Houghton Marketplace on Facebook.
