Hundreds spiced up their day with food, drinks, cocktails and eating competitions all featuring the killer fruit’s ‘capsaicinoids’ in one way, shape or form, and the hotter the better for this not cool crowd.

For those who’d bitten off more than they could chew, festival organisers were on hand with big cups of milk to counter the sting, the milk proudly donated by IGA Tweed Valley in Murwillumbah.

The charity event – part of a national network of Chilli Festivals - raised precious funds for RuralAid offering free confidential counselling for farmers, and the Tweed District Rescue Squad – VRA Rescue NSW.
