The Ridge Peach Festival Parade
I love the entire day at the Ridge Peach Festival, but the one thing I enjoy seeing is the parade. The parade starts around 10:30 am, but it could be different this year as all event times haven't been released. The parade features classic cars, classic tractors, church groups, fire trucks, and more.
Once the parade is over, kick back and enjoy the food, the music, and the fun that is the Ridge Peach Festival. They did take last year off, which was the 50th anniversary, so this is year 51 of the peachy fun.
Here are some photos and fun as we walk down memory lane from The Ridge Peach Festival in 2022.
