Published Apr 14, 2008

You don’t have to be nuts to attend the Floresville Peanut Festival.

The annual festival recognizes the importance of the peanut to Southwest Texas agriculture and is always held on the second weekend in October. Businesses throughout Floresville hang peanut plants in front of their buildings to mark the arrival of the season.

Festival activities include the Goober Games for children and a Queen Tunaep (peanut spelled backwards) and King Reboog (goober spelled backwards) pageant. There is also a carnival, parade, street dance, fiddler’s contest, peanut brittle contest, arts and crafts and live music.

Peanut products available for purchase include peanut brittle, homemade peanut butter, peanut cookies, roasted peanuts, pies and ice cream.
