Romeo Peach Festival

Late Aug - Romeo Lions Clubhouse

Click here for events at the Romeo Peach Festival, August 29th through September 3rd, 2024.

HISTORY
The Romeo Peach Festival is the second oldest festival in the state. What started with two contestants from the counties of Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, Lapeer and Genesee and along with our own Miss Romeo, the Peach Queen Pageant took shape. For several years, all the girls, 11, would be part of the Peach Queen Court and ride on huge floats decorated with flowers. Hence, the Floral Parade got its name. A Juvenile Parade was added to have the local and surrounding area children participate, usually having a theme. A Mummers Parade was added to bring fun and excitement for all to see.

Every Labor Day weekend, Romeo hosts many events based around its prized crop, the peach. Events include Parades, Carnival Rides, Bed Races, Craft Shows, and much more. It’s fun for the whole family.  Events take place at various locations in Romeo, though a good number are held at the Romeo Lions Clubhouse, 269 East Washington, Romeo, Michigan.
