About the festival

Annual, late September; 2025: September 20 (10th annual); 2026: September 19 announced (11th annual).

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.
