So much so, there\u2019s an entire festival dedicated to it. Starting small in 1990, the hot sauce festival has grown over the last 30 years into one of Austin\u2019s major festivals &#8211; with over 10,000 visitors and more than 350 hot sauce entries <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> year.

The event will include announcing the winners of the commercial bottler categories, clips from the judging process, and cooking demonstrations using the hot sauce. And of course, it wouldn\u2019t be an Austin festival without music. There will be performances by some awesome local bands such as GO FEVER, Como Las Movies, Mike Melinoe, and Nemegata.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2620\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2620 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Austin Hot Sauce Festival\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-842x561.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site-406x271.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hot-Sauce-Fest-2019-Cred-Site.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of determining who has produced the very best hot sauces of the year, the festival plays another key role, serving as a huge fundraiser for the Central Texas Food Bank. So not only do we get to enjoy a great hot sauce festival in Austin, but it also has a really positive impact on the community. Amazingly, in the last year alone over 95,000 meals were raised! How awesome is that? This year to participate in the event, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Austin Chronicle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is asking for a small donation to be made to the Food Bank so that the event can carry on providing meals to those in need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hot sauce festival takes place on Sunday, August 30th at 1:00 pm. And for a more involved experience, you can purchase your very own <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.austinchronicle.com\/hot-sauce\/tasting-kits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hot sauce tasting kit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!

Of course, you don\u2019t need a special kit to have a great time and well, you\u2019re probably something of a hot sauce connoisseur already. Doing a tasting with hot sauces from home while viewing the festival is just as fun!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2546 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Kayaking-Pic-Extra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Kayaking-Pic-Extra.jpg 800w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Kayaking-Pic-Extra-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Kayaking-Pic-Extra-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Kayaking-Pic-Extra-370x180.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/austin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Kayaking-Pic-Extra-406x197.jpg 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">View the Best Places to Rent a Kayak<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Looking for the best places to rent a kayak?
