Due to yet another failure of the Austin loquat crop, there will be no fest this year. Just a sad meeting of the Loquat Fest governing council, as we drown our sorrows in wild grape wine.

If you want your own loquat tree (for various legal reasons we will not ask you what you want to do with it exactly), now is the time to email us to reserve one.

Do you have recipes or other loquat information to share? We would love to post it on the site! Drop us a line and tell us what you’ve got.

Watch this space for more info. Or better yet, email us to get on the mailing list! Never miss an important loquat-announcement again!

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!
