A huge thank you to everyone who supported the 2026 Engel & Völkers Chilli Festival!

Whether you entered a dish, voted, attended an event, sponsored prizes, performed, volunteered, or simply enjoyed the incredible chilli-inspired meals on offer, you helped make this festival a tremendous success.

Congratulations to all our winners and participants, and a special thank you to our restaurant owners and chefs, whose creativity and passion are the heart of this festival.

We are incredibly grateful to our headline sponsors, Pilot Software and Straughan Inc. Attorneys, to Ferreira and Partners Chartered Accountants for auditing the results, to Barrington's for hosting our finale, and to Chef Pete Goffe-Wood for being part of the event once again.

Most importantly, thank you to our amazing community for supporting local businesses and helping make this our biggest and best Chilli Festival yet.

We can't wait to do it all again next year! 🌶️🔥
