Aussie mango season is in full swing now that summer is just around the corner and the king of fruits will be celebrating the peak of the season again this December with the annual Mess-tival.

Mess–tival is a one-day festival featuring mango growers from around the country, mango sampling, giveaways and a delicious sausage sizzle. North Bondi Nippers, one of the largest Nipper programs in the country, will welcome in the new season and compete for a slice of glory in mango-based challenges including mango relay races and mango eating competitions against the public.

Mess-tival has so far raised $25,000 for the North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club and hopes to continue to build on its fundraising efforts with this year’s event.
