CORAL GABLES, Fla. — It’s peak mango season in South Florida, and whether you have the privilege of having your own mango tree or a connection to source your own fruit, Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden is the place to be to celebrate the tropical staple.

The 32nd annual Mango Festival was held from June 13-June 14 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, featuring more than 400 mango varieties, live chef demonstrations and tastings, and a marketplace of vendors offering a range of mango-inspired goods.

Organizers also set up a VIP lounge area, offering shade and relief from the weekend heat.

This is what these mango trees thrive in — the South Florida climate that helps make the region a hub for mango lovers and growers.

Organizers say a brunch prepared by James Beard Award-winning chefs and mango cocktails were a part of the lineup on the last day of the festival, rounding out what they called a “Sunday funday” celebration of the fruit.

Happy mango season!
