The story

Kampot Durian Festival in Kampot

NON EVENT: Searches found no organized 'Kampot Durian Festival' with a program or fixed dates, only Kampot's genuine May-to-September durian harvest season, roadside orchard tours, and the town's durian-statue roundabout. A same-titled Khmer Times article could not be verified as describing an actual event rather than routine harvest-season coverage. Farm tastings exist; a dedicated festival does not appear confirmed.

NON EVENT: A roundabout on the road into Kampot town is topped with a large concrete durian sculpture, a local landmark that reflects how central the spiky fruit is to the province's identity during its harvest window, roughly May through September depending on rainfall and variety.

Some orchards near town offer paid tasting sessions where visitors sample several named durian cultivars side by side during peak season, a genuinely comparative experience absent from a generic fruit stall
