I'd like to attend as many fig festivals as I can this year.
Was hoping there was a fig festival list.
Please add festivals you know about with any details you want to share.
Here are a few I know about.
Ocracoke 13th Annual Fig Festival August 6-8, 2026
Celebrate the great history of figs in Ocracoke.
Chester Lynn, a friend of mine, is the local fig expert and historian on all things Ocracoke...
Chester was instrumental in documenting, growing, propagating and creating current interest in the figs of Ocracoke.
The festival is three days with the biggest events happening on August the 7th.
Figapalooza 4th Annual Fig Festival Sept 19th, 2026 in Greenville, NC.
Organizer, Malcolm Heath runs a top notch festival.
I attended Figapalooza last year as a vendor, selling only Brown Turkey fig trees. It was a great festival.
This year's Figapalooza, I am certain will be even better.
Spruill Conservation Farm's 4th Annual Fig Festival Sunday August 2nd, 2026 in Roper, NC
This is a grassroots and small festival located in Roper, NC. Spruill Conservation Farm backs up to the Albemarle sound.
Features a fig orchard with 55 trees and 23 different varieties. Many trees are estimated to be 100 years old.
Last year there were 100 or so in attendance. This year they are adding more fig related vendors, Beekeeping, History, Conservation and Environmental exhibitors. Not to mention a Nature Trail and fun for the whole family.
The festival will also feature live music, fig bake off, and food by a well known professional chef... They expect to triple last year's attendance numbers.
More details to come whenever the press release is ready, I will post it here.
I highly recommend attending all of these festivals...
Please add to the list...
Perhaps some of us on the figfanatic site can meet up at some of these festivals.
, Definitely putting in on my calendar to look for next year since it's only about an hour from me.
