54th annual Palisades Peach Festival 2022

The Colorado peach festival in Palisade Colorado is simply charming, filled from Main Street to Peach Blvd with what romantics might call “small town magic”. From August 11-13th, small businesses throughout Palisade welcome in tourists and friends, excited to celebrate the golden yellow and orange delicacies, that we call peaches. Kicked off with a full town Ice Cream Social, Jake Jabs takes the stage as he sings a blues and crowns the Peach Queen. A small though proud town, Palisade encircled the excitement, every smiling face licking the decadent peach ice cream off their lips. Not only is the festival a memorable and magical experience for all, the peaches celebrated within this short weekend have great impacts on the Colorado economy, however little they are acknowledged for it. In short, celebrating the embodiment of summer that is peaches, has created a new tradition for our family, and many delicious memories to come.
