Peaches take center stage in Fort Collins as the city's annual music festival returns on August 16, emphasizing community gatherings.
The much-anticipated 15th Annual Fort Collins Peach Festival is set to take place on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at Civic Center Park from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. This popular summer event, originally named "Pigs 'n Pits", has evolved over the years and is now one of Fort Collins' most cherished summer traditions [1].
This year's festival promises an exciting lineup of live music, local food and craft beer, and community fundraising. The performing artists for the festival include The Burroughs, The Last Walstarz, and 12 Cents for Marvin. The Burroughs, a nine-piece band known for their high-energy "sweaty soul music", will headline the event [3].
The festival emphasizes a music-first format with additional offerings such as local craft beer, peach-inspired refreshments (peach pie, peach ice cream, fresh Palisade peaches), and food trucks along Howes Street [1]. Entry is $10 for adults and free for children under 12, with all proceeds benefiting local nonprofits and Rotary community programs [4].
The festival is volunteer-led by the Rotary Clubs of Fort Collins and acts as a community fundraiser. Over the years, the festival has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various community causes [1]. Past festivals have supported organizations like the Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County, scholarship programs, and other nonprofit initiatives [2].
So, mark your calendars for August 16, 2025, and get ready to enjoy a day full of live music, delicious food, and community spirit at the Fort Collins Peach Festival. The official website for the event is fortcollinspeachfestival.com.
