Prickly Pear Festival
August 23 @ 7:00 am – 9:00 pm
In collaboration with the Town of Superior gov, and Rebuild Superior Inc.
This event will take place August 23rd, 2025, from 7AM to 9PM in Superior, Arizona.
This vibrant event, which originated from our friends at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, has evolved into a celebration of food education, plant medicine, urban gardening, homeopathy, sustainability, conservation, activism, and overall healthy lifestyle, with the beloved Prickly Pear fruit as the inspiration for the event.
The festival kicks off on Saturday morning with a Prickly Pear Forging session at 7:00am at the Superior Municipal Airport. Followed by a pancake breakfast hosted by our local Fire Department, with prickly pear syrup from 8:00 am to 11:00 am at the Superior Senior Center, located at 360 W Main Street.
Throughout the day, the Prickly Pear Festival will offer a wide array of engaging activities, including retail and food vendors to set up at 9AM, guest speakers and demos at the Superior Chamber of Commerce office located at 165 W Main Street from 9AM to 5PM, information booths, Arts, and our local restaurants will be serving Prickly Pear or desert related items on their menu!
