Date Published: 29/09/2025

Sydney Superhot is set to sizzle again on March 8th, 2026.

SUPERHOT FESTIVAL no background

After a sizzling debut in May 2025, Scarlett Habanero once again brings the Sydney Superhot Chilli & BBQ Festival down to Sydney on March 8th, 2026.

The venue will again be the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park and patrons will be excited to try hundreds and hundreds of boutique products.

Of course, the excitement will be on stage when brave contenders vie for the crown in one or more of our chilli challenges.  A highlight in 2025!

“This is the sister festival to the Queensland Superhot  and we love bringing the Queensland heat down to Sydney!,” said organiser, Scarlett Habanero.

Last year’s Sydney Superhot event attracted 23 artisan chilli vendors and it’s expected even more will attend the 2026 event – a bonanza for chilli heads!

Of course, this event will cater to all ages, with plenty to occupy the kiddos too (think Animal Nursery, Face Painting, Kids Craft etc).

What better combination than Chilli and Barbecue?

The Sydney Superhot will be on a Sunday from 11am to 7pm, given it will be the tail end of summer.
