Welcome to the

California Peach Festival!

Downtown Marysville, California

Friday July 15th, 2005 - 6 p.m. to Midnight
Saturday, July 16th, 2005 - Noon to Midnight  

 

The California Peach Festival, the fastest growing event in Northern California, welcomes you for two fun filled days in the sweet town of Marysville. Admission to the event continues to be free to all and the festival is dripping with fresh peaches, terrific peach desserts, and peach specialties to delight your taste buds. Live music will fill the air with the sounds of summer as our four stages of entertainment keep you dancing in the street. Don't miss the craft vendors, art vendors, and children's activities that stretch over 2/3 of a mile through Historic Downtown Marysville.

  

 

 
        

As always, we promise this year will be even juicer...

 

Among the activities planned for this year at the festival, will include a 5K Run/Walk in the morning of the event, a peaches and pancake breakfast, and the festival itself.

 

This year's event will showcase local and regional entertainment with music on four stages. The festival will also have over 140 vendors featuring peach food or crafts, community entertainment, special events and activities, a peach cocktail garden, a huge children's area, and tons of fun for the whole family.

 
 

Don't miss out on the event to celebrate the sweetest of all fruits. You can bet that we will keep you coming back for more! This year enjoy these great "peachy" items: Peach Ice Cream, Peach Smoothies, Peach Snow Cones, Peach Cotton Candy,  BBQ Sandwiches with Peach Salsa, Peach Funnel Cakes, Peach Sundaes, Peach Desserts, Peach Pies and of course, Fresh Peaches.

 

 

These are not your ordinary fresh peaches either, they are melt in your mouth delicious and one can hardly describe the taste of biting into a fresh freestone peach and having the juice of this heavenly fruit run down your cheeks. The festival also features Cling Peaches for the baker in the family to take home and use in their special desert of their own.

 

 

 
 

How we got started...

The California Peach Festival is a fast growing celebration, that was built with hard work and lots of help. We are celebrating our sixth year in 2005. Started in 1999 by Jody Sodaro (a local peach farmer) and Andrew Coolidge (a local event coordinator), it has grown into a major food festival in California and the largest peach event in the Western United States! The festival, which is presented by the City of Marysville and supported by a host of wonderful sponsors, is expecting over 65,000 people over the course of just two days. So make sure to bring your appetite and come to one of the most fun, affordable, and peachy events ever.

The idea behind the California Peach Festival is two-fold. First, the event is to showcase the City of Marysville and the beauty of Historic Downtown Marysville. Secondly, the event promotes a very important and vital agricultural aspect of the Yuba-Sutter Community, namely peaches. So come and join us on July 15th and 16th  in Downtown Marysville for the California Peach Festival. It is fun for the whole family!
