Araluen botanic park foundation general manager Grant Nixon said the festival was all about the good flavour and rich texture of the avocado.
“The fruit is prized for its high nutrient value, is loaded with heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and is added to all sorts of dishes from cupcakes to guacamole because of its versatility and great taste,” he said.
“We see this festival becoming as successful as Araluen’s Fremantle chilli festival.”
The festival will run from 10am to 5pm each day.
