FESTIVITIES
HOT PEPPER FESTIVAL
Held the last weekend in October, this“ Hottest Little Festival in Texas” features a pepper-eating contest, chili cook-off, parade, vendors, car show, and live music. palestinechamber. org
Our little festivals( my favorite is the Hot Pepper Festival) are a good time to try some food trucks and look at local vendors.
