Peach lovers, rejoice! While Georgia may be famous for its peaches, Maryland is giving it some stiff competition with the upcoming Berlin Peach Festival on August 3rd. For the past 16 years, this festival has delighted residents and visitors alike, becoming a beloved tradition in the community.
The roots of the Berlin Peach Festival trace back to the late 1800s when the Harrison Family established a peach orchard in the state. This juicy legacy forms the foundation of the festival, which aims to not only celebrate the delicious fruit but also raise funds for the Taylor House Museum and preserve the history of Berlin.
Melissa Reid, the President of the Taylor House Museum, emphasizes the festival’s importance in bringing the community together. She highlights the variety of peach-themed activities and treats available, ranging from mouthwatering peach pies for sale on the lawn to a bake sale at the local elementary school. What’s truly special is how the festival extends beyond the museum’s grounds, with many of the town’s restaurants incorporating peach-inspired dishes into their menus.
If you’re looking for a delightful day out, mark your calendars for August 3rd, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Berlin Peach Festival promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling just peachy. Join the festivities, celebrate the history of Berlin, and indulge in all things peach!
