We are going nuts about this year’s Madera Pomegranate, Fruit & Nut Festival where admission and parking are free!

The 10th annual Madera Pomegranate, Fruit and Nut Festival takes place, Saturday, November 6, from 10:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. at the Madera District Fairgrounds. Admission and parking are free at the vibrant festival showcasing Madera County’s locally-grown commodities of pomegranates, fruits, and nuts.

The unique happening features a day filled with delicious pomegranate products, specialties from local nut vendors, music, and the always popular, chef-led, cooking demonstrations. To learn more about all things pomegranate, discover educational seminars on harvesting arils and juices. Then get in on the whole-family fun by showing off your skills at the seeding competition.
