About the festival
Annual, mid/late September; 2025: September 20 (21st annual); 2026: September 19 announced (22nd 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.
