Onchan Park will be transformed into a celebration of all things chilli this weekend as the Fire Island Chilli & BBQ Festival gets underway.
Running from 12pm to 7pm on Saturday, the free event will feature food, live music, fire cooking, chillies and ‘a load of controlled chaos’.
The festival has been organised by Fire Island Chillies, the island’s first commercial chilli farm, based at Red Mie Farm in Ballaugh.
The business produces a range of hot sauces and hot honey, alongside fresh and dried chillies.
Visitors can browse a wide range of products and stalls throughout the day, with plenty to see, taste and enjoy.
Adding a political twist to proceedings, three prospective MHKs will also take part in a ‘Hot Wings Hustings’.
