Abundance NC presents The Sweet Sixteenth Annual PepperFest, Sun, Oct 1, 3pm-6pm! PepperFest is a celebration of sustainable agriculture, local farmers, and the creativity of the Piedmont’s top chefs, brewers, and artisans. They are back at The Plant to host folks who enjoy live music and revelry, learning, and discovery – including a kid’s craft and fun zone – while filling up on delicious pepper-themed dishes made with delicious, locally grown sweet, hot, and smoky NC peppers.

Chefs compete for awards. Foodies taste all the different dishes made from peppers grown in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Children run wild, folks dance, laugh, and enjoy the many different creations. A Pepper Queen and King are crowned, local businesses and nonprofits share their news, and they all go home very happy. They will have live music with Soultriii, an artistic educational, and cultural walkthrough, a 21+ lounge, a kid’s zone, vendors, and fun for the entire family! Get your tickets today! Prices will go up over the coming months.
