Kumquat Festival
The Kumquat Festival is an annual celebration held in late January in Dade City, Florida focused on the kumquat, a small tart citrus fruit usually eaten whole, with the skin on, and used in marmalades and desserts. It is organized by the Dade City Chamber of Commerce. The festival brings tens of thousands of visitors and is in its 24th year as of 2021. The crop can be damaged by freezes. Nearby St. Joseph, Florida is known as the kumquat capital of the world, according to Kumquat Festival brochures. References
