is there any Fig fest coming up near you? How many people gather and what's it like? Does anyone have any pictures to post?

Fig fests are generally held in the fall or late summer when there are ripe figs available. Of course warmer climates like California may be an exception. There is a NE Fig meeting in June at Bass's

Has there been an exact date set for it?

No not that I'm aware of. Bass will make an announcement once he figures out the date

For the past few years, there is another fig festival I know of;
it invariably occurs on Sept 15th in Staten Island (SI), NY.

Also, here is a scan of 2013 Bill's Figs invitations:

So far, I only attended the above 2 events only once;
and they both were a good fig experience to me...

Do you know where in Staten Island? And is it the 15th this year?

The last I heard, the Staten Island Fig Fest will be september 15 at 7PM at the turtle fountain
at the Midland Beach boardwalk/promenade.  I think it's on the promenade part.  Not all of the boardwalk is open due to Hurricane sandy.  It's right off the parking lot.  If I hear any more about it, I will post.
I have always wanted to go and this year, my cousin and I will go.
