Beijing Hot & Spicy Festival will return once again to Galaxy Soho for its third installment, Aug 14-16. As long as the great habaneros in the sky continue to smile down on us, dozens of Beijing's best spicy food vendors will gather at China’s only spicy-themed festival to sling dishes and drinks that will make your mouth grow its own tiny mouth just so it can scream. All the while, live music and entertainment will keep the vibes as fresh as spicy curry out of the pan, and the 10th Annual Hot Chili Pepper Eating Contest will have Beijingers breathing fire on stage.

You'll want to grab your sombrero and taste for spicy margaritas, because Mexico is the country of honor at this year's fest, meaning you can expect to be Living 辣 Vida Loca as you shove down plenty of tacos and wash them down with a spicy-salt margarita.
