Mountain Mandarin Festival

Every year in November, the new harvest of delectable California Mandarin oranges is celebrated during the Mountain Mandarin Festival. Join in the fun in Auburn at the Gold County Fairgrounds on Friday, Nov. 18, for this colorful three-day extravaganza.

There will be plenty of food, drinks, music and opportunities to appreciate the Mandarin orange. The Mandarin Festival welcomes guests with a variety of fresh fruits from local farms and, of course, tons of delightful citrus tastes. There are thousands of bags of Mandarin oranges waiting to be purchased, along with jellies, infused olive oils, balsamic vinegars, savory sauces and personal care products. And the food menu includes everything from mandarin pizza to mandarin glazed wings and doughnuts.

Tickets are $10. Senior pricing is $7. And kids under 11 are free of charge.
