About

The Ohio Pawpaw Festival is a fun-filled, educational community event celebrating one of America’s largest native tree fruits, the pawpaw (Asimina triloba). This all-weekend event highlights the rich history and future possibilities of the pawpaw through delectable foods, and a full line-up of presentations and activities that cover pawpaw growing, cooking, genetics, medical use and other topics related to sustainability. Special events at the festival include competitions for the best and biggest pawpaw, a pawpaw cook-off, a best pawpaw-related work of art and the ever-popular pawpaw-eating contest.

In exchange for a four-hour shift, volunteers receive one (1) weekend pass and an official Volunteer T-shirt.

Volunteers are needed to assist with:
  • the merchandise tent
  • the children's activity area
  • Check-in/admissions
  • Zero-Waste Recycling Tent
  • Music event/stage assistance
  • the beer tent (21+ only)
To ensure the festival runs as planned with expected coverage, we now require all volunteers to put a credit card deposit of $50 on file with the festival. The deposit will be refunded within 30 days if the volunteer successfully completes the assigned shift. If a volunteer does not show up for an assigned shift, or does not satisfactorily complete the shift, the $50 charge will not be refunded. The credit card information is required to complete the online application form.

Typically a free shuttle runs from the bottom of Baker Center to Lake Snowden, but please keep an eye on the event website for details and important health and safety requirements.

Thank you for being a part of the 2021 Ohio Pawpaw Festival! We couldn’t do it without you!
