Found throughout the southwest and abundantly in the Moapa Valley, the light pink to dark red pomegranate can be found in sweet or bitter varieties and is used in cooking, crafting and as part of healthy lifestyles as an herbal supplement. The festival celebrates the taste and visual appeal of the fruit. Local artists, and performing groups will join live demonstrations of various craft and culinary techniques and recipes using pomegranates. For the kids, the Art Attack area provides hands-on arts and crafts projects to take home.
