Welcome to the 74th Manchester Peach Festival!

This year, we’re bringing our beloved community fundraiser to Saturday — and for the first time in festival history, we’re extending it to a full 4 hours of fun, food, and celebration!

What Does the Manchester Peach Festival Support?
Every ticket, every bite, and every beverage purchased supports the mission of the Manchester Fire Support Group — a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit making a real impact. Your support helps:
Families affected by fire or associated
tragedy.
Local burn centers
Manchester-area food pantries
Preservation of North End / 8th District history through our upcoming museum exhibit
…and so much more!
Formerly run by the historic Manchester Fire Department (8th Utilities District), the festival is now proudly organized by MFSG. While keeping the tradition alive (yes, the peach shortcake is back! ), we’ve made this festival about something even bigger: celebrating the entire Manchester community.

Opening Ceremonies - 4:00 PM
Led by Boy Scout Troop 27, who will proudly present our nation’s colors
Pledge of Allegiance: Led by Kevin Zingler, CEO of MARC
National Anthem: Performed by the incredibly talented Rylie Pennington
And then the party kicks off!
Bill Ludwig (Former Manchester Town Troubadour) will perform “Peaches” by The Presidents of the United States.
Followed by fan-favorite Nightshift — performing for their fifth year at the festival!
