The Bowers Chile Pepper Fest is held every year in a park about three miles south of Kutztown. Between 40 and 50 vendors show up with just about every type of hot pepper product, including jalapeño Christmas tree lights and jalapeño earrings. You can buy Jamaican jerk sauce, habeñero mustard, and salsa that will make you sweat and cry at the same time. Food vendors are also on site; most sell dishes that come with some heat.
The Fest is only for two days, but if you live in eastern Pennsylvania, you still can make it on Saturday. Google it for directions.
If you would like to make your own salsa, you can also buy raw peppers. Remember to wear rubber gloves when you are making it, and whatever you do, don’t touch your eyes or other tender parts of your body.
Fest parking is free. The festival cost is $2 a person. I recommend it.
