The Ohio Pawpaw Festival is a fun-filled, educational, family friendly community event celebrating one of America’s largest native tree fruits, the pawpaw (Asimina triloba). This all-weekend event highlights the rich history and future possibilities of the pawpaw through delectable food and beverages, and a full line-up of presentations and activities that cover pawpaw growing, cooking, genetics, medical use and other topics related to sustainability. Special events at the festival include competitions for the best and biggest pawpaw, a pawpaw cook-off, a best pawpaw-related work of art and the ever-popular pawpaw-eating contest. And the Live Music schedule is not to be missed!
The Holistic Wellness Tent at the festival offers a full schedule of wellness activities right in the heart of the festival. Drop in on a class to take a break from the festivities and to learn something new about taking care of your mental, emotional and physical health.
