Welcome to the Herb and Chilli Festival 2027.

Fire up your weekend and join us for our 16th Herb & Chilli Festival!

Fifteen years of fantastic food, wine and music.  We are now having young adults returning who have been coming since they were young kids.  Started when they only ate Maccas or KFC and now love all the amazing flavours our stall holders bring each year. In 2027 you can explore over 85 stalls offering a wide range of spicy chilli and other great products. Sample tongue-tingling sauces, rubs, and marinades, and discover tantalizing drinks that will add an extra kick to your palate.  The kids (even the adult ones) will love the presence of our new friendly dragons.

We are expecting a really busy year with many people coming to try yummy food & drinks, listen to music or watch our chilli fanatics test their taste buds.

Delight in a variety of delectable dishes from our mouthwatering vendors, and refresh yourself with locally crafted beverages. Families are welcome, and children under 14 can enter for free with any paying adult. Travel to the festival hassle-free with our convenient Chilli Express shuttle bus service, available from Lilydale train station.  Buy tickets at TryBooking when you buy event tickets – or on the bus!

Tall Dan & True Stories will be our feature band.  They have been described as “the perfect festival band”.
Playing a mix of upbeat favourites, and a combination of toe tapping original dance tunes and engaging classic cajun folk, Tall Dan and True Stories are sure to entertain.
Listen to the deep notes and stunning country melodies delivered by Dan MacMinn, backed by a band of accomplished and dynamic musicians

As usual we will have the fun Australian Chilli Cook-Off with family against family and friends against friends all fighting for the glory of having the best chill!.  Funds raised from Chilli Cook-Off will be supporting Seville CFA
