This is it! After a wait of many years, we’re having a Loquat Fest! The date is Saturday, May 4th. Bring any loquat dishes or products which you’d like to share. There will be prizes and stuff. Location is Bartholomew Park. Since the space at the park pavilion is fairly limited, we ask that you RSVP by reaching out to us via email or Instagram.

Watch this space for more info. Or better yet, email us to get on the mailing list!

During the brief window of loquats ripening here in Austin, we ask that people participate through the Instagram hashtag #loquatfest. For more information and up to date media, visit our Instagram account, @loquatfest. Send us an email if you want to be added to the mailing list!

About Loquat Fest

We are a consortium of loquat enthusiasts and researchers dedicated to promoting public awareness of loquats and furthering collective human knowledge of this orange fruit and its products. Loquat Fest is held seasonally, either as the loquats ripen or a month after when the fermented products of the harvest are ready to consume.

The Loquat Fest Governing Council thanks you for your interest in loquats.
