What a day full of fun at The Ridge Peach Festival we had on Saturday! Yes, it was one of the hottest days we've had this year so far but that didn't stop the fun. The 3rd Saturday in June is always the date of The Ridge Peach Festival in Trenton. So for 2025 go ahead and mark June 21st for 52nd annual Ridge Peach Festival.

The day started at 9 am with the official festival opening. Then around 10:30 the annual Peach Festival Parade started. This years parade featured The Color Guard, local politicians and dignitaries, police, firemen and so much more.

The Fun At The Ridge Peach Festival Officially Started at 11:30am

With the activities beginning at 9am and the parade at 10:30, that was not the official start of the day. At 11:30AM with the official welcoming, The pledge and presentation of the colors along with the the introduction of dignitaries and the 116th Military Band for the National Anthem.

So once the official welcoming was over, the fun at The Ridge Peach Festival was on. One of the biggest attractions each and every year is of course, the peach ice cream. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint this year or in any year prior.

I had to run fast from this table. I love homemade pound cake and they had so many options to pick from.
