The 87th annual Michigan Peach Festival is this holiday weekend in Romeo, Michigan. It runs from Thursday, August 30 through Monday, September 3rd, 2018. Grab a copy of the program at locations around town or visit romeopeachfestival.com for a schedule of all the events. Don't miss all the fun!




Looking back at the 75th Peach Festival in 2006, the Peach Queen was Lauren Kloock from Romeo. The program that year contains a list of all the reigning queens from 1931 through 2006.








The reigning Peach Queen of the 50th annual festival in 1981 was Chris Righi. The annual Children's Parade was scheduled at 10 a.m. on Monday, September 7th, with the Floral Parade at 1:30 p.m. on the same day. The Floral Parade has since been renamed as the Hometown Parade, and both parades for 2018 are held Labor Day, September 3rd, at the same times. 



Carol Hall was the Peach Queen of the 25th Annual Silver Jubilee celebration in 1957. The program that year (as does every year) includes a list of sponsors. It is an interesting snapshot of many local businesses at that time.
