About the festival

Free two-day pawpaw festival each mid-to-late September at JBR Vineyards in Giles County; live music, estate wine, vineyard tours, a walk through the pawpaw patch, food trucks, and pawpaw seedlings from a local farm stand.

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.
