ORLANDO, FL - The National Mango Board announced the return of its popular Joy Ride mango tour, bringing fresh mangos to consumers in Chicago, IL, and the Dallas, TX area, this summer. Designed to engage and educate consumers about the joy of fresh mangos, the experience will feature an orange carpet entrance, interactive photo ops, live activations, and giveaways. Visitors can also enjoy complimentary sampling cups of ripe, juicy mangos served with a variety of toppings such as coconut flakes, honey, chocolate sauce, and Tajín® Clásico and Tajín® Twist.

New this year, Tajín® is proud to be the official partner of Joy Ride. A tasty blend of mild chili peppers and sea salt, Tajín® is one of the most popular toppings for fresh mangos, complementing the sweetness with spice and becoming a viral sensation online.

"We had such success with Joy Ride last year and are excited to continue the campaign to further share the incredible taste and versatility of fresh mangos in a fun, educational, and interactive environment," said Ramón Ojeda, executive director at the National Mango Board. "Consumers can expect unforgettable, delicious experiences while learning about fresh mango recipes and the many nutritional benefits of the superfruit."

Joy Ride kicks off in Chicago July 31 through Aug. 3, and will return the following weekend, Aug. 7 through 10. The tour then heads to the Dallas area from Aug. 22 through 24. The tour will visit a variety of high-traffic locations in Chicago and the Dallas area, including retailers like ALDI, H-E-B, Jewel-Osco, Food Market La Chiquita, Mariano's, Pete's Market, Shop & Save, and Whole Foods Market. From the bustling excitement of Chicago in the summertime to Dallas in the Lone Star State, Joy Ride promises unforgettable experiences for mango enthusiasts of all ages.
