Lookya with Mango Season at the Museum

“DATS A MANGO STAIN?!”

In Cayman, mango season is highly anticipated, and the sweet, unique flavor of the mango is enjoyed by all. Locals reminisce on diving up mangoes in the sea and going in the land to find the perfect tree to climb, whether it be for a long, round, or a Julie mango. The maiden plum and cockspur weren’t any match for anyone with mangoes on their mind.

Join us on Saturday, 16th July 2016, from 3−8pm at our first annual Mango Season at the Museum on the Waterfront. Admission is free to the public. Enjoy food and mango products, a mango peeling/eating competition, music by local artists, and arts & crafts and fun for the kids and entire family in a family-friendly environment.

Use the hashtag #DatsAMangoStain on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to create conversation and to share your experiences.
