Parker County Peach Festival

The Parker County Peach Festival is an annual event held the second Saturday every July in Weatherford, Texas. In addition to celebrating the peach crop from local growers, the festival also showcases local arts and crafts vendors. It is capable of drawing thousands of attendees.[1] During the festival, vendors set up booths in the open area surrounding the Parker County Courthouse. There is a companion bike rally event called the Peach Pedal, that serves peaches at its rest stops. There are three separate stages for entertainment including a children's stage. In previous years, there have been as many as 200 food, craft, art and activity booths. The festival features a “43” domino tournament. [2]
