Peaches! Peaches! Peaches! The city of Ruston held their 67th Annual Louisiana Peach Festival on the weekend of June 22nd-23rd. With food, games, rides, vendors, shopping and, of course, peaches, there was something for everyone this year. The entire town of Ruston bustled with a peachy excitement for a full weekend of Peach Fest. The weekend’s festival events included: Battle of the Bands, 5k Color Run, “Peachy Paradise” Parade, Cobbler Gobbler Eating Contest, a Bass Tournament at Lake D’Arbonne and the annual Rodeo. In addition, several Ruston restaurants featured peach flavored specials on their menus for the weekend. Each year this downtown festival gets bigger and better, and we can’t wait to see what next year has in store.
