The Big Wonderful 2025

Winter Park Resort, July 12, 2025

On July 12, 2025, Wild Side Pepper Company turned up the heat in the Colorado Rocky Mountains for our very first mountain event — The Big Wonderful at Winter Park Resort. And what a day it was!

From the moment we set up our booth, we knew this was going to be special. A live bluegrass band played right in front of our tent, filling the air with toe-tapping tunes and keeping the energy high all day long. Guests strolled by with taster glasses in hand, enjoying unlimited samples from over 20 Colorado breweries. The festival was alive with flavor and creativity, featuring 40+ Colorado makers — from outdoor apparel to handcrafted jewelry, unique gifts, and (of course) the fiery goodness of Wild Side Pepper Company.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location — our booth was right next to the downhill mountain bike park, where riders flew past in a blur of adrenaline and dust. And while the weather forecast teased us with possible thunder showers, Mother Nature blessed us with perfect blue skies and crisp mountain air.

The scenery was breathtaking — jagged peaks, lush green slopes, and a vibrant crowd of people visiting from all over the US and even different countries. We love events like this, where we not only share our pepper creations but also connect with people from every corner of the globe.

Every event we attend grows our Wild Side family, and The Big Wonderful was no exception. We left with happy hearts and new friends who now know just how good life tastes when your peppers run free and your flavors roar.
