Woodstock Fruit Festival Explained

43.4478°N -73.6795°WThe Woodstock Fruit Festival is a nonprofit festival celebrating a fruit-based diet that is held in upstate New York, which has been running every August since 2011.^[1] In 2013 the fitness activities, lectures and 24-hour fruit bar (as well as gourmet fruit-based dinners) drew in excess of 600 participants for the 7-day festival. In 2014 the WFF announced that there would be 2 weeks rather than one.

Michael Arnstein is the founder of the festival.

Media attention came from as far away as the Dutch press de Volkskrant,^[2] Huffington Post^[3] and NY Magazine.^[4]

The COVID-19 pandemic caused officials to scrap the 2020 festival and defer it to 2021.
