Peach Festival

July 16 beginning at 8:00 a.m.

Activities will be bountiful during the Kirkwood Farmers' Market Peach Festival on Saturday, July 16. Kirkwood Farmers' Market will be the new home for a piece of sculpture that has been donated to the City of Kirkwood by local artist Brother Mel Meyer S.M. of the Marianist Galleries. The farmers' market is also the registration point for Kirkwood Farmers' Market Bike Ride.

In addition to Trailnet's 20-mile bike ride on Great River Greenway's Grant's Trail, and a view of the new sculpture, visitors to Downtown Kirkwood will enjoy peach samples from local farmers as well as peach related treats and menu items at Kirkwood Farmers' Market. Local farmers will be competing in a contest for the best locally-grown peach. UJ and the Downhome Blues Band will be filling the market with music.
