Peaches are a quintessential part of summertime in Delaware, and one little town goes all out to mark the arrival of peach season each year. The Peach Festival in Wyoming, Delaware is a community celebration packed with vendors, food trucks, children’s programming, and of course, peaches. It takes place on the first Saturday in August, and this year’s festival looks to be the biggest yet.
Wyoming, Delaware is a charming, peaceful little rural town with only about 1,800 residents. In the 1860s, Wyoming was known as “the peach center” of Delaware ("the peach state"), with several growers and peach-based businesses.

With craft vendors, music, a peach dessert contest, a raffle, and more, Wyoming’s Peach Festival is a wonderful way to get out for some summertime fun this August.
