Tinian Hot Pepper Festival

About

Known locally as Pika Fest, organized by the Marianas Visitors Authority with the Tinian Mayor's Office in honor of Tinian's donni' sali hot pepper. Two evenings of local food and craft vendor booths, cooking and eating competitions, a 5K fun run, and live music from Marianas and Guam bands running into the early hours. Best-booth honors are awarded to vendors. Draws heavy off-island traffic: hotel rooms sell out, and charter boats and extended flights run from Saipan for the weekend.
