The Palisade Peach Festival and Colorado Mountain Winefest are two of the Grand Junction area's most distinctive events. See what's on tap at each -- from fresh fruit and live music to wine tastings and grape stomps -- when you come celebrate the bounty of our harvest!

Palisade Peach Festival

Surrounded by lush orchards that yield some of the country's best peaches, Colorado's Palisade has a century-long tradition of harvest festivals celebrating this sweet, juicy fruit. Peach-themed fun takes center stage at this annual festival, where fruit lovers can partake in a variety of classic, crowd-pleasing events -- an ice cream social, street dance, pancake breakfast, recipe contest, "Pitch a Pit" contest, parade and more. There are peaches aplenty, of course, including a robust selection of peach-infused food and drink.
