This fig party includes live music, storytelling, activities for children, local fig expert presentors, and booths offering fig preserves, fig cakes, fig trees, cookbooks, and other figgy goodies! 

This year, the Fig Festival will include guest chef Vivian Howard! Get a ticket for Thursday night's meal, the Savory Side of Figs Dinner, and taste the wonderfully made fig dishes.
