About the festival
Annual since 2023, early September; 2025: September 6-7 (3rd annual); 4th annual announced for September 2026.
Like most pawpaw festivals, it is timed to the short fall window when the fruit ripens, so it is the rare chance to taste fresh pawpaw, meet growers, and often buy seedlings or grafted trees on the spot. New to the fruit? See what a pawpaw tastes like before you go.
