LANDRUM—The eagerly anticipated Peach Festival took place on Saturday, June 21, from 8 a.m. to noon at Landrum’s Joe Cunningham Pavilion. The event, part of the Landrum Farmers Market, brought together locals and visitors alike to celebrate the height of peach season. It featured a Craft Fair, a wide array of food vendors, and a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.

“This year’s Peach Festival was a wonderful celebration of summer and community spirit,” said Market Co-Manager Kristen Johnston. “From fresh-picked peaches to peach-inspired crafts, it’s a fantastic opportunity to support our local farmers and enjoy the best of what the foothills have to offer.”

Over 2,000 attendees enjoyed a delightful selection of peach-infused treats for under $5, including peach cobbler, peach ice cream, peach salsa, and chips. Unique offerings included meatballs in peach sauce and peach popcorn. In addition to the peach-centric menu, vendors offered blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and an assortment of summer vegetables.

The Craft Fair showcased local artisans, featuring handcrafted goods from a variety of talented creators, including Gifts From the Rabbit Hole, Cothran Farm, and Sweet Treats by Laura. 

“Thank you for your generosity to local farmers and small businesses,” said Market Co-Manager JoAnn James. “We feel honored that so many in our community joined us today. A special shout-out to our team of helpers. Henry, Erica Fleming, Tricia Tabor, Dan & Chris James, who all worked hard behind the scenes to help us pull this off.”
