The Herb and Chilli Festival

Thanks to its previous success, the Herb and Chilli Festival is back and bigger than ever. Taking place in March each year and held in Wandin, the festival includes exhibits, stalls and of course, a chilli cook-off.

Aimed at both professional chefs and amateur cooks, the festival aims to share the most interesting and unique herbs and chillies available, explaining how to grow, store and cook with each variety.
