When organizers in the tiny foothill town of Newcastle held their first Mountain Mandarin Festival 28 years ago they never imagined that it would grow to a three-day event that now attracts 30-35,000 people from throughout the West Coast.

The 31st Annual Mountain Mandarin Festival, a beloved tradition celebrating the harvest of delicious, foothills-grown Mandarins, will now take place at the stunning At The Grounds in Roseville!  Join us for a weekend filled with citrusy delights, artisan crafts, live music, and endless fun from November 22nd to 24th, 2024 – the weekend before Thanksgiving!

Visitors to the Mandarin Festival, are greeted with an abundance of the tasty citrus, from fresh fruit samples offered by local growers to market products featuring the Sierra foothill’s mandarin oranges. Thousands of filled orange mesh bags await and jams, jellies, infused olive oils, balsamic vinegar, barbecue sauces and body care products are all available for purchase. Visitors are delighted to discover that the food vendors offer everything from mandarin pizza to mandarin glazed wings, mandarin doughnuts and mandarin pulled pork, just to name a few.
