Salsa Challenge
The “Salsa Challenge” is back and hotter than
ever! Lured by the aroma of chili peppers and the
beat of Mariachi music, Southern Californians enjoy
this flavored-filled contest. Individual and

judged. This contest continues to expand in
popularity.
Teams are encouraged to decorate their areas
by wearing sombreros, ponchos and huaraches. They
are then awarded prizes and the opportunity to vie
for the best salsa North of the border. The public
relishes the idea of sampling several varieties of
“California Hot Sauces” and quenches their palates
with cool refreshments.
