Loquat Festival

Loquat is small town festival that brings the charm to the city. There is group of the town people are striving for the good of the town and created this festival to bring people from other city to visit. It will help up the economics of the city.
The loquat is actually a fruit from China or Japan. The Chinese call it Pee Par. They not require too much of care due to the rich soil near central west Florida. It need occasion watering to produce the fruit of the tree. There are several scientific researches looking for the cure of disease or cancel. The fruit is sweet on the tree it turn to golden. If it is green and you plug it from the tree it won’t turn sweet like papaya. The local have several recipes for Jam, Pie, and Pastry. Today we have tried the limited edition pastry. Luckily we are early and we have the chance to buy one from the vender for $ 2.50. The people behind us do not have the chance like the early bird like me and Nick.
There are improvement can be made to bridge more crowd and attention. Such as contact some food truck, artist tent, pie competition that makes the venue more fun. They need to make more amount of the pastry so many people can experience it.

This is a cute small festival. It’s a good excuse to get out and eat some loquats. Get some loquat jam. Enjoy the Pithlascotchee River and Downtown New Port Richey’s restaurants many of them with patios and brunch offerings. There’s also a nice little art gallery.
