Chile Pepper Fiesta October 2, 2010

Brooklyn Botanic Garden will host its annual 'Chile Pepper Fiesta' - celebrating the harvest, culinary use, and cultural significance of the Chile Pepper with a sizzling weekend of music and dance performances, workshops, crafts and other activities. BBG's recently opened Herb Garden will be bright with chile peppers from around the globe--including the bhut jolokia from India, the spiciest pepper in the world. After a blockbuster debut in 2009, the Chile Chocolate Cabana will return with a suite of local chocolatiers and confectioners showing off their spicy side. Throughout the day, visitors will be dazzled by fire breathing, fire juggling and other circus-inspired feats of flame.
