If you’ve always wanted to try the tiny citrus fruit called a kumquat, now is your chance. The Greater Dade CityChamber of Commerce will host the 12th Annual Kumquat Festival in downtown Dade City on Saturday, Jan. 31.
The event celebrates the harvest of kumquats, a sweet and sour fruit that can be eaten skin and all but tastes best as part of a yummy kumquat pie. The festival is held in the heart of Dade City’s historic downtown and includes more than 200 arts and craft booths, live entertainment, a farmer’s market, wagon rides, antique fire trucks, a car and truck show, beauty contest and recipe contest.

This festival looks pretty good to spend it with my whole family. I was planning on going somewhere with my family and this is a great choice, thank you!
