This isn’t just about fruit—it’s about flavor, family, and fiesta! The mango festival brings together residents and visitors alike to enjoy:
- Live music & cultural performances

You’ll find everything mango imaginable— mango cookies, mango smoothies, pickled mango, mango donuts, even mango dinanche! And if you're lucky, you might catch a vendor handing out free slices of fresh mango straight from the tree.
Plan Ahead Like a Pro
The mango festival is one of the bigger event draws crowds, so expect heavy foot traffic and limited parking. We suggest:
- Arriving early or carpooling with friends
- Wearing breathable clothes and comfy “zoris” (flip flops)
- Packing essentials: water, sunblock, shades, and an umbrella
- Bringing cash! Most vendors don’t take cards (though a mobile ATM may be available)
Let’s Talk Mango Food
This is the main event for your taste buds. From warm mango donuts to ice-cold smoothies and savory mango-infused dishes, every booth offers a new way to enjoy Guam’s red-gold treasure. Need a gift? Grab a bag of mango cookies or mango dinanche for friends and family—or just stock up for yourself.
