Hatch Chile Festival

About

Running since 1971, Hatch Chile Festival transforms the small New Mexico village of Hatch into the Southwest's chile epicenter each Labor Day weekend. The festival draws over 30,000 visitors for a weekend centered on the world-famous Hatch chile — expect chile roasts, live music, parades, and a heavy vendor presence. Strong foot traffic, established regional crowd, and deep local agriculture roots make this a solid fit for food vendors and chile-focused artisans.
