Mango Festival: A Celebration of the King of Tropical Fruit!

The Mango Festival returns next year to Fairchild. Bring your mango-loving family and friends and take your taste buds to the tropics for a weekend devoted to all things mango.

A 30-Year History of Bringing Mangos to South Florida

Fairchild has been celebrating mangos during the Mango Festival for nearly 30 years. It’s a weekend-long celebration of the sweet and delicious King of Tropical Fruit!

Fairchild is home to The Tropical Fruit program and the world’s largest mango collection. Our annual Mango Festival is a celebration of the more than 400 varieties of mangos in our prized collection, and it all culminates in a dazzling weekend filled with mango madness.
