Parade Registration for the 2026 N. C. Peach Festival is now open!

Parade Registration for the 2026 N.C. Peach Festival is now OPEN. Visit our website at NCPeachFestival.com to download your form and return it to us at our email address: [email protected]. You may also mail it to us at: NC Peach Festival; PO Box 220; Candor, NC 27229. There is no fee for entry, however you must register by July 17th if you wish to participate.

As mentioned last week, we have decided not to allow the throwing of candy or any other objects at this year's parade. Our decision was prompted by the Town of Candor's Property and Liability Insurance Provider who insisted the practice be stopped. However, participants are allowed and encouraged to have someone walk with your group and personally handout candy if you wish to do so.

Popsicles are NOT ALLOWED. Four-wheelers are NOT ALLOWED.

We are super excited to celebrate America's 250th Birthday with you all!! We hope you'll enter the PEACHIEST and/or MOST PATRIOTIC vehicles, floats, tractors, golf carts, etc, that you can possibly design. See you on July 18th for the 2026 N.C. Peach Festival!!!
