A more than century-old celebration of Palisade peaches is scheduled to return Aug. 8 to 18.

Palisade Peach Days will feature many of the events that have become a tradition, but will be spread out over 10 days this year.

“This has been a very well-loved event that continues to grow year after year,” said Jessica Burford, president and chief executive officer of the Palisade Chamber of Commerce. “We have been working closely with the Town of Palisade to make the event better fit the needs of our community while creating even more opportunity for our guests to join in the celebration.”

The Just Peachy 5K, Peach Days Parade and Palisade High School band car show are set for Aug. 10. But the Palisade Peach Festival is planned for Aug. 16 and 17.

“Events being spread out will give people the opportunity to join in festivities that best fit their interests and schedules without completely overwhelming our residents and town infrastructure,” Burford said. “We are very exited to extend the celebration of the peach harvest in this way.”
