ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE!
The 9th edition of the hottest show in Canada is coming back to Centennial Hall !
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28th, 2026 – 11am to 7pm
With the largest gathering of Hot Sauce Creators, the Spiciest Competitions, Bangin Tunes, Delicious Food and Ice Cold Beers it’s definitely the hottest event in the country!
Every Sauce Crafter has their FIREY products on hand so you can stock up on your favorites, and free samples for those looking to try a new flavour or test their limits.
The sauces at Heatwave range from mild to Xtreme – and all of them are wicked tasty.
These sauces are made by folks that know their way around a kitchen. You will taste a range of flavours that go from sweet and savoury to kick you in the teeth hot, and all made from original recipes.
Only at Heatwave can you sample them all – before your head totally explodes from the heat ! Get on it !
Be sure to buy some chicken wings, vegan wings, or more fresh food options on hand to dab that tasty hot sauce on when you go around sampling – and be sure to buy a bottle or twelve – cause enough is never enough!
And quench that burning fire inside you with an ice cold beverage from the bar – it’s gonna be needed!
Participating hot sauce companies are being added daily –
Our fan favourite spicy contests will be returning as well in the RING OF FIRE~ ! Watch the action and cheer on your favourite contestants as they put it all on the line. And, if you have the mouth for it, you should enter a contest to test your taste buds and win some prizes too.
