National Peanut Festival
Festival
Alabama's celebration of the peanut harvest in a region often called the peanut capital of the world, running since 1938.
6 NOV
Dothan, Alabama, United States
The Wiregrass region of southeastern Alabama produces a substantial share of America's peanuts, and Dothan's National Peanut Festival — running since 1938 — is the area's marquee annual celebration of the crop, coinciding each year with the local harvest.
A parade, agricultural exhibits, carnival rides and no shortage of peanut-based food make up the programme, reflecting the crop's genuine importance to the region's farming economy across nearly a century of the festival's history.
