Dade City, Florida is minutes away from St. Joseph, a municipality called "the Kumquat Capital of the World." The town's close proximity led to the establishment of the Kumquat Festival, which has exploded in popularity, attracting 40,000 visitors each year.

On Saturday, January 27, you can join the fun as you explore booths filled with arts and crafts, local goods, and fresh, farm-ripened produce. Youngsters are welcome to tag along with special activities like face painting and the Kumquat Kids Corral play area. An antique car show is full of rare and impressive models, while live music provides an excellent backdrop

Have you ever tried kumquats? While small in size, these fantastic fruits are bursting with flavor. Kumquats are unique among citrus fruits because the peel can be consumed along with the pulp. As you make your way through the festival, you'll be able to taste all kinds of treats made with the delicious fruit, including pies, cookies, ice cream, smoothies, marmalades and salsa.

Admission to the Kumquat Festival is free, and the city has plenty of options for free parking, minimizing the hassle of finding a spot. Best of all, the Kumquat Festival is just a short distance away from a range of Sun Outdoors RV resorts.
