Mitchell Persimmon Festival
Sept. 17-22, 2022, Mitchell
The merits of persimmons are heralded each fall at the Mitchell Persimmon Festival in Lawrence County, located 35 miles south of Bloomington in a town billed as the Persimmon Capital of the World. The late George Bishop, a local educator, launched the hometown celebration in 1947 to celebrate the little-known fruit that grows abundantly in the southern part of the Hoosier state.
