One of the world’s great living mango collections.
Three decades of tradition, one city that takes this fruit seriously.
Fairchild’s Mango Festival:
Miami’s Summer Ritual
Miami is a mango city. The trees grow in every other backyard. The fruit shows up on family tables, at cookouts, in recipes passed down from Havana, Kingston, Santo Domingo, and Delhi. Everyone has a favorite variety. Everyone argues about it.
And everyone knows the feeling of picking one off the tree, standing at the kitchen sink, and eating it right there, juice running down your wrists — the best five minutes of summer.
Every one of those backyard trees has a story, and most of them lead back to Fairchild. For one weekend in June, the people behind that work bring it all together: thousands of mangos, shaped by the scientists and horticulturists who made South Florida a mango region.
This is the weekend Miami shows up for.

Everything That Makes
the Weekend Extraordinary
Flavors You Won’t Find
Outside of Fairchild
Dozens of varieties on display side by side: floral and honeyed, citrus-bright, rich, sharp, unexpected. Mangos from the Caribbean, South Florida, India, and beyond — many rarely available outside Miami.
Some you’ve had your whole life. Some you’ll see for the first time.
Chefs, Music
AND a Full Day in the Garden
Every menu turns on mango. South Florida chefs build dishes around the fruit at its peak: savory plates, desserts, cocktails, and specialties drawn from the Caribbean, Latin American, and global kitchens that shape how Miami eats.
Music runs through the weekend. Families settle in. Plan to stay.
20,000 Mango Trees
ANd Counting
Mango trees, selected by Fairchild for South Florida backyards, are a core part of the weekend. More than 20,000 have gone home with Festival-goers over the last 30 years.
You can take one home, too.
From The Fairchild Farm
The same fruit behind Fairchild’s collections is available to take home. Grown at The Fairchild Farm, harvested at peak ripeness, and offered at a quality rarely found outside South Florida.
Come early — the best varieties move fast!

Heritage & Authority
A Century of Mango
in South Florida
More than a hundred years ago, Dr. David Fairchild brought mango to the United States and helped establish cultivation in South Florida. That work continues today through Fairchild’s Tropical Fruit Program, which maintains one of the most significant mango collections in the world and shapes how this fruit grows in our region.
The Festival is the public face of that work — and the reason Miami has a mango culture unlike anywhere else in the country.
