About the festival
Annual late-August evening festival at Trailhead Beer Market in Knoxville; free admission, with pawpaw fruit and trees, native plants, wildcrafters, pawpaw cakes and soda, live music, and pawpaw waffles early on.
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.
