A look back at Festiv'été spicy edition 2024

On Saturday, July 6, 2024, the very first edition of Festiv'été édition piquante took place at Marché Jean-Talon. The event showcased the entire world of spicy foods. Some fifteen companies specializing in spicy side dishes, four culinary demonstrations, a cocktail bar, a DJ and a hot sauce tasting competition warmed up the atmosphere.
