Celebration at The Plant, a 16-acre eco-industrial park to safely spread out and enjoy our tasting styled Fest!

Pepperfest will host around 1,000 folks who enjoy live music and revelry, learning and discovery – 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. Pepper awards are crowned, local businesses and non profits share their news and we all go home very happy.

There will be live music with Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba, Colin Cutler, Imagine Circus performers, an artistic educational and cultural walkthrough, a 21+ lounge, a kid’s zone with activities, vendors, a small farmers’ market and fun for the entire family.

Partake in all the small businesses on The Plant, including the Chatham Beverage District’s distillery, cidery, meadery and local beers, Copeland Spring Farms and Kitchen, Chatham Axes, Carolina Hemp Tours, Hempsmith, Oak City Hemp, Tick Warriors, Vortex Brew, Smelt Art Gallery and BMC Brewing COMING SOON!
