Parker County Peach Festival

The Parker County Peach Festival is an annual event held the second Saturday every July in Weatherford, Texas, from 1985 to 2019 & since 2021. In addition to celebrating the peach crop from local growers, the festival also showcases local arts and crafts vendors. It is capable of drawing thousands of attendees.[1] During the festival, vendors set up booths in the open area surrounding the Parker County Courthouse.

In previous years, there have been as many as 200 foods, craft, art, and activity booths. The festival features a “42” domino tournament. [2]
