How I ended up on this forum is because I was looking for fig festivals. I did find two; one in Malibu (tough to find) and the other in San Diego. After watching a video (thanks to SAS reposting). Great video, by the way. I thought this would be a great way to find FIG FESTIVALS in your own state! Does anyone know where and when other fig festivals are in California?

NC just started an annual fig festival on Okracoke Island. I plan to be there next year! https://outerbanksthisweek.com/ocracokevillage/events/2nd-annual-fig-festival-fig-cake-bake __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

We never have any fig festivals in Kansas :( But I guess we could change that. Maybe I could start hosting one every year at my place? Maybe in late August or September? 2016 Kansas Fig Festival -- coming soon :) __________________ James, zone 6a Kansas (zone 10 greenhouses); wish list is in my profile http://www.FigCuttings.com

Somehow got a response from the Ranch owner (i think Dave), who called me to confirm they still hold the fig fest yearly on the summer sulstice weekend. I didnt get there due to other family obligations but I plan to go next year. There is another on in Northern CA but I havent confirmed everything yet.

Anyone know? __________________ Meg-Hardiness Zone 10a Looking for...
