West Virginia Pawpaw Festival will be held from noon to 5 p.m. at the Core Arboretum, Monongahela Boulevard, Morgantown. Come to WVU Core Arboretum to taste, buy and learn about pawpaws! This annual event celebrating a native fall fruit of the forest is family-friendly, free and open to the public, no registration needed. The festival will be in the Lawn Area at the Arboretum, and free parking is available in the adjacent WVU Coliseum parking lot. We will have Peterson Pawpaws select varieties of pawpaw fruit available to sample and purchase, samples of pawpaw dishes prepared by a chef, a talk by a pawpaw expert, the North American Pawpaw Growers Association booth, pawpaw trees and other native plants for sale, live music, food trucks and more. This is the 8th annual WV Pawpaw Festival at WVU Core Arboretum. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the largest fruit native to West Virginia. Pawpaws have a delicious tropical flavor that some describe as a combination of banana, mango and pineapple and a smooth, creamy texture. Pawpaws ripen in autumn, and we host several pawpaw events at the Arboretum each year to coincide with pawpaw season. Even though pawpaws are fairly common, many people have never tasted a pawpaw, and we hope to change that!
