Welcome to the

The Lexington County Peach Festival is a great way to recognize the Lexington County Peach, the peach industry, and the birthday of our nation! Join the fun at the beautiful Gilbert Community Park where there's room for everyone!

A typical Peach Festival day begins at 9:00 AM with the judging of the Peachy Fruit Contest in the Gilbert Primary School Cafetorium. There you will find peach dishes of all kinds being judged. There is a peach auction and recognition of the oldest and youngest in attendance. One of the main attractions is the ever-popular parade which winds through the main streets of Gilbert beginning at 9:30 AM. There are usually over 125 units in the Peach Festival Parade.

During the day numerous groups, bands, dance schools, and vocalists entertain on various outdoor stages in the beautiful, shady Gilbert Community Park. Hundreds of arts and crafts exhibitors are on hand to sell crafts -- many with "peachy" themes.

There are plenty of peachy treats available such as peach ice cream, peach tea, peach delight, peach sundaes, peach cobbler, peach zip, peach slush, and fresh sliced peaches.

The evening Peach Queen Contest is a popular event. The Peach Festival day winds down with the street dance and a wonderful display of fireworks.

We hope you'll join us in the most elaborate, jam-packed, fun-filled, "peachiest" festivals around!
