Spice Up Your Life at the Inaugural Pepper Fest August 17
If you like spicy food, rockin’ music and a hearty party, get ready to tantalize your taste buds with a variety of mouthwatering flavors. The first-ever Pepper Fest kicks off on Saturday, August 17th at the Fraze Pavilion from 4pm to 10pm.
Amy Zahora, director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association told us she expects Pepper Fest to be a scorcher. "Pepper Fest will be a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the region's love for bold flavors and culinary creativity," said Zahora.
Pepper Fest isn't just about the heat – Live music will keep the energy high throughout the evening. Kicking things off at 4:30pm is Michelle Robinson Band, a rising Nashville recording artist known for her incredible stage presence and captivating vocals.
Later in the evening, get ready to rock out with Hot Red Chili Peppers, a Cincinnati-based tribute band that faithfully recreates the electrifying energy of the legendary funk-rock group. Dance the night away to their infectious rhythms and blistering guitar solos.
More menus will be posted soon. In the meantime, hold on to your habaneros, and mark your calendars for Pepper Fest, August 17th!

Death Grip 'Blazed and Confused' Donut
Classic glaze takes a backseat as we drop a dollop of cream cheese ignited and infused by Blazin' Dayton’s Sweet Thai Chili hot sauce. Topped off with a fresh sliced pepper and a generous drizzle of more Sweet Thai Chili, this donut is not for the faint of heart. Feeling bold? Say the word, and we'll add in some extra heat so you can truly get blazed & confused!
