The great rock band The Presidents of the United States of America once sang, “Movin’ to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.” Boy would they have sure loved the Marysville Peach Festival! The 20th annual event celebrating all things peaches is happening Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20 in historic downtown Marysville on D Street between First and Seventh streets. This free, family friendly event will offer dozens of peachy foods, including staples like cobbler, pie, ice cream and milkshakes, but also some off-the-wall foods and drinks, too, including peach salsa, peach taffy, deep fried peaches and even barbecued peach burgers! Approximately 30,000 people from the entire region are expected to attend, with one major perk being that there are no parking fees. There will also be live entertainment and a ton of vendors. The event runs from 4–10 p.m. on Friday and from 10 a.m.–10 p.m. on Saturday. Check out Marysvillepeachfest.com to learn more.
