Abundance NC presents The Amazing Pepper Festival, Sunday, Sept 22, 2019 from 3-6 PM!  PepperFest is a celebration of sustainable agriculture, local farmers, and the creativity of the Piedmont’s top chefs, brewers and artisans.

We close down the streets in downtown Pittsboro and host around 3000 folks who enjoy live music and revelry, learning and discovery – including a kid’s craft and fun zone – while filling up on delicious pepper-themed dishes made with delicious, locally grown sweet, hot and smoky NC peppers.

Chefs compete for awards. Foodies taste all the different dishes made from peppers grown in the Piedmont of North Carolina.  Children run wild, folks dance, laugh and enjoy the many different creations.  A Pepper Queen and King are crowned, local businesses and non profits share their news and we all go home very happy.

This year's headliner is 8-Track Minds, NC’s finest 70’s dance party band to go along with the sweet and hot!

This year, we are collaborating with Triad Electric Vehicle Associate and Chatham County Climate Change Advisory Committee to bring models of electric vehicles for the public to learn and see, chat with experienced owners about tax benefits, logistics, challenges and benefits of Electric cars!!  Come visit!
