It is the 24th Anniversary of I Like It HOT! And it’s going to be HOTTER than ever before! This hot n’ spicy food show is painfully delicious, big on flavor and cooked up to be one of the hottest events of the season. Like previous iterations of the popular event, this year’s festival will feature a wide range of spice-related vendors peddling hot sauces, spice rubs and salsas, spice tolerance contests, live music, food trucks and more.
