WA's avocado festival is returning to Pemberton

By: Lisa Cook 

This November, the heart of WA’s avocado country will spring to life with a celebration of food, farming and community spirit. The Pemberton Avocado Festival promises a day of fun, flavour and adventure for families, foodies and the avo-obsessed.

From vibrant market stalls to avo-themed games, the weekend will showcase the region’s prized “green gold” like never before. 

Thanks to its cool climate, fertile karri loams and regular rainfall, Pemberton sits at the centre of Australia’s top avocado-growing region. Harvest peaks from late spring into summer, making November the perfect time to visit and celebrate the fruit that’s helping put this Southern Forests town on the map. 

Main Festival Day

Stock up on fresh avocados and explore a range of avocado products from avocado zinc to jewellery at the main festival. Meet the growers, browse more than 70 festival stalls and enjoy live entertainment from a line-up of local performers.

Kids can enjoy their own zone with face painting, crafts, inflatables and a petting zoo to keep them entertained all day long. There's also a colouring competition and some fun Avo Games to keep things interesting.

Grab a ticket in the Pemberton Avocado Festival raffle for your chance to win a prize, and head across to the Pemberton Fires Station Open Day for more family activities.

Round out your weekend by exploring Pemberton’s natural beauty and food scene. Take a guided 4WD tour of the Yeagarup Dunes, wander through ancient karri forests, or enjoy long lunches at local wineries and farm gates.
