Broome’s traditional community Mango Festival, historically held in late November is no longer running as a full multi-day festival.

But as the clouds build up and the mango trees droop with fruit, the fruit bats gorge themselves and residents get set to show off their best mango recipes. Local groups like the Lioness Club of Broome still periodically host smaller community traditions like the annual mango jam, cake and chutney competitions.
