Peach Festival On The Docket At Windy Acres Farm

GENEVA, IL — Everything's coming up peaches thanks to Peach Festival returning for two weekends in July at Geneva's Windy Acres Farm.

The fifth annual Peach Festival is planned from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 13-14 and again July 20-21 at 37W446 Fabyan Parkway. Peaches will, of course, be the highlight of the event, so the farm will be selling a variety of themed treats, including fresh-picked peaches, cobbler, cheesecake, syrup, salsa and jams. New this year will be a spiked peach slushy, organizers said.

Each day will also feature live entertainment and other activities, including a magic show. Family-friendly attractions will include a petting zoo, train ride, ice cream truck and candy store.

No reservations are needed to attend, but visitors can pre-buy tickets for the Attractions Area — home to everything from life-size chess, mini golf, ziplines and a jumping pillow — beer garden and grilled food area. There is no fee to enter the open-air farm market and garden center.

Admission to the Attraction Area, open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is $16.99 online or $17.99 at the gate. Kids under 2 enter for free.

All peaches will be pre-picked; no U-Pick Peach will be allowed during the festival.
