Get captured by the aroma of Hatch chile.

John Hard, co-chair of the Hatch Chile Festival, said the smell permeates the whole village during the event, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 5, and Sunday, Sept. 6.

The festival began in 1972 and kept growing until the pandemic ground it to a halt. The Hatch Valley Chamber of Commerce brought the festival back, and over the past five years, it has grown back to what it once was, he said.

The festival began as a way to promote the Hatch Valley鈥檚 main crop. He said it is a 鈥渢ypical small-town sort of festival.鈥�

There is plenty of chile to be found, Hard said, along with a carnival and vendors.

鈥淚鈥檓 always surprised at what they can put the chile into,鈥� Hard said.

It鈥檚 not just how chile is included in food, Hard said, but how its represented in art that surprises him. He said there will be really long and unusually shaped chile ristras, and eventgoers can even learn how to make their own.

鈥淪ome of the weaving and things that they figure out to do with the chile is really, really beautiful,鈥� Hard said.

Hard became involved with the festival a few years ago and is a seller at the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show. He is familiar with chile products and has seen them change over the years.

鈥淭here are lots of chile products now that there didn鈥檛 used to be, I mean, food-wise and spice-wise and things of that nature,鈥� Hard said.

You don鈥檛 have to be an extreme spice lover to appreciate the festival. Hard said the chile available is mild and tasty enough to convert those who don鈥檛 like chile.

鈥淚鈥檇 like people to just come and have an open mind on trying it,鈥� Hard said.

For those wanting to try their hand at an eating contest, there are three options this year 鈥� a chile contest put on by Adams Family Farms, and ice cream and watermelon eating contests presented by the chamber of commerce.

鈥淭hey do the chile first, and although the chile isn鈥檛 exceptionally hot, it鈥檚 still hot,鈥� Hard said. 鈥淪o they try to follow it with a couple other contests.鈥�

He said Hatch chile helps tie the state together, and events like the Hatch Chile Festival help promote and showcase a major agricultural product for New Mexico.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really a nice time that a lot of the major people in the valley can get together,鈥� Hard said, 鈥渁nd celebrate what has made them successful.鈥�
