The humble feijoa will be centre stage at the annual Feijoabulous festival in Whanganui.
The fifth feijoa festival, run by Sustainable Whanganui, will be held at the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre on Sunday, April 28.
"We always sing, dance and eat feijoas on this day," spokeswoman Margi Keys said.
"Everyone
brings homegrown feijoas and/or a dish containing feijoas plus its recipe so others can go away and produce the same."
There will be competitions for the largest (heaviest), smallest and ugliest/weirdest feijoa.
