There were big feijoas, small feijoas and even ugly feijoas. Hundreds of people turned out to celebrate the humble green fruit on Sunday.
Organiser Margi Keys said it was the third year Whanganui has held the feijoa festival - a Sustainable Whanganui event where people shared recipes, sang the feijoa song (yes there's such a thing), danced and took part in a feijoa quiz.
Graceyn Wylie, 12, was dressed as - you guessed it - a feijoa, and was the festival's official mascot.
"People usually have far too many feijoas this time of the year," Margi said. "So there are plenty to take home as well."
Others went further, bringing along baking for people to try. The feijoa cake topped with almonds was a hit.
