Quince and Watermelon Month

Quince and Watermelon Month is observed throughout December and names quince and watermelon as the month’s subjects. The supplied evidence does not identify the observance’s founder, explain why the two are paired, or document any specific traditions.

Watermelon has a long history: evidence traces its origins to southern Africa, while ancient Egyptians cultivated it and depicted it in tomb art. Over time, cultivation and breeding produced the sweet, tender fruit enjoyed today. Learn more about watermelon’s documented history, then use the month as an opportunity to give both featured foods some attention.

How to Observe Quince and Watermelon Month

Celebrate by enjoying watermelon, preparing it in a simple dish, or learning about its history and cultivation. If quince is available to you, taste or prepare it as well, and share what you discover about both subjects with friends or family.
