Volunteer-led event shifts to music-forward, adult-friendly experience at Civic Center Park to raise funds for local nonprofits
The Fort Collins Peach Festival returns to Civic Center Park on Saturday, Aug. 16, with a renewed focus on live music, local craft beer and community support. The one-day event runs from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and is hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Fort Collins. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children under 12.
“Similar to last year, this year’s festival includes a music-first format designed for adults and supporters of the arts, local food, and charitable giving,” says Kerrie Luginbill, Rotarian and event marketing chair. “The festival is entirely volunteer-led, and 100 percent of proceeds benefit local nonprofits and Rotary community programs, making it a day to not only enjoy incredible music and flavors, but to be part of something that truly gives back to our community.”
The 2025 lineup features one of the most prominent headliners the Fort Collins Peach Festival has ever welcomed, The Burroughs, a nationally recognized nine-piece band known for their high-energy “sweaty soul music” that gets audiences dancing from the first note. Additional acts include The Last Walstarz and 12 Cents for Marvin. In addition to music, guests can enjoy a curated selection of craft beers, peach-inspired refreshments and signature local treats, like peach pie, peach ice cream and fresh Palisade peaches. Several local food trucks and vendors will also be lined up along Howes Street. A wristband is required for alcohol purchases.
The Fort Collins Peach Festival is presented by HSD Law and sponsored by Breeze Thru Car Wash, Rotary, SpeedPro, Colorado Iron & Metal, Inc., Cline Williams and OTM.
Community members are invited to attend and spend the day enjoying live music, local flavor and the shared purpose of giving back. Full event details and schedule are available at fortcollinspeachfestival.com.
