The sweet and tangy citrus scent of Mandarin oranges permeates the crisp November air during the two-day Mountain Mandarin Festival held at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn, California. The Sierra Foothills, long-known for the discovery of gold in California, are also known for their golden treasure, the Mandarin orange. The Festival celebrates their harvest (November through- January) and will host 25,000 or more visitors who savor the juicy fruit, which is available only late November through January.
More than a dozen Placer County growers will bring thousands of familiar, 10-pound, orange-mesh bags of the fruit ready for travel home to friends and family. Food vendors serve up mandarin infused drinks, salads, grilled meats, ice-creams, marinades and syrups. Hand-crafted items are also for sale just in time for holiday giving and home trimming at more than 150 booths.
Cooking demonstrations throughout the festival, with Mandarins as an ingredient, will feature regionally known chefs, while the popular Mandarin Recipe Contest on Saturday attracts amateur cooks who bring their prepared dish to be judged. Day-long activities include free crafts and contests for children, live music and dance on the Mandarin Main Stage, and a Thanksgiving centerpiece contest on Sunday.
Admission to the Mountain Mandarin Festival is free, parking is $4."
