The Boynton Beach Red Hot Festival is about to scorch the Heart of South Florida. The festival could be called Son of the Red Hot Blues Cruise, a terrific event presented last year by the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, and the City of Boynton Beach. The name has been changed because the music has been broadened and the event expanded to two days but the high quality remains the same. This is a free-admission happening sure to appeal to the eye, ear, and tongue.
The festivities will be held Saturday, March 28, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Sunday, March 29, 2015, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, on Ocean and NE 1st Avenues between Seacrest Boulevard and NE 1st Street. Jump back as hungry fun-seekers flock to this event with its three themes and varied activities. Hot Peppers – The food court will be filled with vendors providing hot pepper dishes (and milder fare for the faint of heart). This is a Foodie event with outstanding fare, so come hungry. Beverages of all types will be available in lieu of fire extinguishers. Other vendors will sell salsas, hot peppers, a wide variety of arts and crafts, and, of course, ice cream. And don’t miss the Hot Pepper Eating Contest on Saturday and the Hot Wing Eating Contest on Sunday. Hot Cars – Judged car shows on Saturday and Sunday for classics, hotrods, exotics, and antiques, as well as sports, muscle, and modern muscle cars will provide scores of cars to drool over. Not to mention display cars provided by car show sponsor Barrett-Jackson and local private car museums. The Top 10 will be honored each day with a showdown for Top Dogs on Sunday. Hot Music – The joint will be rocking. The Backyard, Boston’s on the Beach, Two Georges, Propaganda, Elmo’s, and the Old Key Lime House are presenting great music from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm on Saturday and Noon to 6:00 pm on Sunday. Blues, rock, classics, reggae, you name it.
