Submitted by Susan on July 18, 2019 – 8:16 amNo Comment
The 23rd annual Peach Festival takes place tomorrow and Saturday (July 19 and 20, 2019), along Main Street and in Fitzgerald Park in Candor, North Carolina.
Hours are 4 to 9 p.m. tomorrow, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
In addition to the usual — live entertainment, a parade, arts & crafts, camel rides and such — there are always lots of fresh, sweet, local peaches, not to mention “the best homemade peach ice cream in the Great State of North Carolina”.
Peach orchards have a century-long tradition in Montgomery County, beginning when three local citizens formed the Candor Fruit Company in the late 1800s.
