I Like it HOT! Festival — Local services in Pinellas Park

Overall, it was a good event. Nice to have the combo of indoor and outdoor vendors. Plenty of food trucks for lunch choices. Good music and fun environment.

This could easily be a 5 star rating, if there had been a few more hot sauce vendors. We were specifically looking for 2 that were at the Spring event in Pinellas, but sadly they didn't opt in for this event.

Also, the sampling/voting room for the armature concoctions and professional sauces was very crowded and no AC that I could tell of. With so many selections to sample, there was really no way to sample them all and get a good read on what was being sampled. I only sampled a couple professional sauces, as 3 of the vendors were already on the floor and we had tried a few of their prior to voting.

Again, we had a good time, just didn't have the "wow" factor that...

We had a really good time! Lots of free hot sauce samples, and really good food to purchase. Everyone was happy and in a good mood. Live music and Hot Pepper Eating contests! I actually entered on a last second whim and ended up winning! 😂 Anyways , it was a lot of fun and the folks running everything seemed to be really good people. We will be back next...

What a great experience! There were quite a few vendors outside and it was wonderful to go inside AC where there were lots of meat jerky’s, hot sauces and macaroons! The lobster rolls from Cousins were excellent and everyone was friendly and accommodating. Great...
