WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Mango lovers will have a major South Florida event to circle on the calendar in 2026. The Florida Mango Festival 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, 2026, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, located at 650 Okeechobee Blvd. in downtown West Palm Beach.
The one-day festival will run from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a special early-entry ticket option beginning at 9:00 a.m. Organizers describe the event as a peak-season celebration of Florida mangoes, featuring small farms, tropical fruit vendors, mango growers, nurseries, educational talks, tastings, and a master display of mango cultivars found in Florida.
A Mango Festival Built Around Florida Growers
Unlike outdoor summer fruit festivals, the 2026 event will be held indoors in the air-conditioned convention center, giving attendees a comfortable way to explore the height of mango season without the South Florida heat. The official event page says the festival will feature dozens of small farms and nurseries offering locally grown mangoes, grafted mango trees and other tropical fruits.
For Mangopedia readers, the timing matters: late June is one of the most exciting parts of South Florida mango season, when collectors may encounter everything from classic Florida favorites to newer dessert-style cultivars. Varieties such as Coconut Cream, Lemon Zest, Pickering and Sweet Tart have helped fuel the modern Florida mango conversation, while international names such as Alphonso and Ataulfo show how wide the mango world really is.
What Visitors Can Expect
Festival highlights are expected to include locally grown Florida mangoes, rare and exceptional mango varieties, grafted mango trees and tropical fruit plants, mango-based foods and products, agricultural tools, educational talks, grower discussions, a master mango cultivar display, an “ID Your Mango” booth and a scion exchange for online mango community members.
The official 2026 vendor list says vendors will include Florida mango growers, fruit tree nurseries, food forest educators and mango-food makers offering items such as jams, hot sauce and more. Confirmed and expected names listed by festival organizers include Backyard Mangoes, Truly Tropical, Tropical Acres Farms, Stanley’s Mangos, Naga Gardens, Kingsway Ventures, Mina’s Mangos & Jabos, Trees N More and others. Organizers note that the vendor list is still growing as the event gets closer.

Why This Event Matters for Mango Collectors
For serious mango growers and collectors, a festival like this is more than a tasting day. It is a chance to compare fruit side by side, meet growers, learn which trees are performing in Florida conditions, and discover nurseries or farms that may specialize in cultivars not commonly found in grocery stores. The event’s indoor format, education program and grower-vendor focus make it especially relevant for people who are trying to understand mango diversity beyond a single supermarket variety.
