On December 12th and 13th, 2026, the Berlin Chili Fest will host its “Spicy Wings Edition & Spicy Christmas Market” at the Kalle Wintergarden.
Around 40 exhibitors will transform the venue into a paradise for spice enthusiasts and those looking for unique gifts. Look forward to tastings, competitions, presentations by the producers, live music, local beers and cocktails, and an international selection of food (including vegan and vegetarian options).
The atmosphere is family-friendly, and dogs are also welcome.
The first 1,000 guests will receive free chili seeds for a Berlin-based chili-growing project.
Additionally, a “Meet the Makers” kick-off event—organized in collaboration with the Berlin deli Mogg—will take place on Friday, December 11th, starting at 6:00 PM at the Main Bar in Kalle.
