Berlin's biggest chili festival is back!

With live music, a kids' area, and the legendary Clifton Chili Club competition, there's something for every chili lover – and those who want to become one!

💧 Important Update: Reusable Water Bottles Now Permitted!

We heard you. Following feedback from last year's festival, we're pleased to confirm that reusable water bottles are now allowed at the event.

We spoke directly with the security team and venue management, and this policy was adjusted in time for May. When trying some of the world's hottest sauces, staying hydrated isn't an option – it's a necessity! Bring your reusable water bottles, fill them at home, and enjoy the heat safely. Other outside beverages are still not permitted.
