UK Chilli Queen Flies Across the Pond to Ignite the Blaze For The Brave Pepper Festival in Gettysburg!
The fiery world of competitive chilli-eating will reach new heights as the legendary UK Chilli Queen, Shahina Waseem, makes her highly-anticipated U.S. appearance at the Blaze For The Brave Pepper Festival in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on October 11-12, 2025.
Known for her jaw-dropping performances and unbreakable stamina in the face of extreme spice, the UK Chilli Queen has captivated audiences worldwide, earning a string of championship titles in some of the most grueling chlili-eating contests. Now, she's set to bring her signature passion and charisma to Gettysburg for an event that promises unforgettable heat and heart.
The Blaze For The Brave Pepper Festival is a premier celebration of chilli culture, featuring League of Fire Gettysburg Title Chilli-Eating contest that raises money for first responders who are brave enough to compete, fiery food challenges, kid-friendly activities, pie-eating contests, live music, and, of course, League of Fire 6th Americas Title Belt Match. With Shahina in attendance, fans can expect a weekend of thrills, laughs, and unforgettable spice as she takes the stage to meet her U.S. fans and host fiery competitions.
“I’m thrilled to be flying out to Gettysburg to join this incredible community of chilli lovers,” said Shahina. “Blaze For The Brave is more than just a festival - it’s about bringing people together through shared challenges, passion, friendships, and fun. I can’t wait to meet everyone and experience the spirit of this amazing event.”
In addition to thrilling audiences with her presence, the UK Chilli Queen will participate in meet-and-greet sessions, allowing fans to connect with one of the world’s most recognized chilli champions. Her journey across the pond highlights the festival’s international appeal and its commitment to bringing the global chilli-eating community together.
The Blaze For The Brave Pepper Festival, organized by Late For Work, isn’t just about the spice - it’s also about giving back. A portion of proceeds from the festival will support first responders and their families, making this event a celebration of bravery and resilience both on and off the stage.
