Granville County is home to the largest pepper producer / distributor on the eastern seaboard - Bailey Farms. We are also home to "Spice it Up" Hot Sauce (2005 New Product of the year and also our winner of the Critics "Meet the Heat" award and People's Choice Award for 2008). As our community was searching for a "Smoking Hot Event" to bring people downtown... the NC Hot Sauce Contest was born!!
Producers from all across the state come together for a fun-filled day, showcasing NC Hot Sauces, NC Microbreweries, NC Wines, NC Barbeque Sauces, NC Fiery Foods, Antiques, Granville Gardeners Plant Sale, Granville County Museum Treasure Sale and much, much more!
