About the event
What's fresh in Ferguson, Missouri in August? Yup! It’s the “Missouri banana,” aka the pawpaw!
Missouri’s favorite funky fruit is getting the star treatment at Ferguson’s 2nd Annual Pawpaw Fest, hosted by EarthDance Organic Farm School and the Ferguson Farmers Market on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 8 a.m. to Noon! The fest promises a flavorful, educational, and quirky (like the fruit!) celebration of the largest edible fruit native to North America.
EarthDance growers and Forest ReLeaf of Missouri tree experts will be on hand info for aspiring backyard or community orchard growers, and there will even be pawpaw seedlings available. You’ll also learn about the fruit’s ancient roots.
Treats will include pawpaw ice cream sandwiches from Sugarwitch, pawpaw beer from Natural History Brewing, and pawpaw kombucha from Confluence Kombucha. And more local vendors will join the fun with pawpaw-forward pancakes, sauces, baked goods, and more.
Kids and curious adults…
