Every year in the beginning of September the city of Brigham hosts Peach Days. Although this area is rich with various vegetations and fruits, the most popular are peaches. Over 50,000 visitors come to Brigham City Peach Days to celebrate and taste some of the best peaches in the state. When the fruit is so attractive, it's hard to control yourself, so just forget about etiquette.
Peach Days Highlights
Festival highlights include a Peach Queen pageant, peach cook-off, junior and big parade, carnival, car show, live performances, 10K run, and lots of entertainment and activities for all ages.
