Overview
The sweetest miles are between South Willard and Brigham City in Utah.
Description
Along the Fruit Highway — as is its aptly-titled moniker — many established multi-generational fruit stands, along with many growers selling out of flatbed trucks and trailers, sell in-season fruit from the surrounding foothills. While an abundance of fruit is grown here, none are as famous as the peaches.
The Brigham City Peach Days began in 1904 as a day off from the harvest and a time to celebrate an abundance of peaches. Now, the festival is the longest continually-running harvest festival in Utah, and according to Brigham City, it is the second oldest in the country.
Nearly 50,000 attendees come for the multi-faceted peach-filled weekend. On Friday, you can attend the junior parade at 6 p.m. and a classic car show with 1,000 cars, making it Utah's largest car show and the largest free car show in the West. Saturday offers the Fireman Association breakfast, a softball tournament, a fun-filled 10K, a 10 a.m. parade, and a 1 p.m. motorcycle show. And, of course, there shall be lots and lots of peaches.
