Peach Days Parade
Celebrate one of Palisade’s favorite traditions at the Peach Days Parade! Beginning promptly at 9:00 AM on Main Street, this year’s parade embraces the theme “What Does 81526 Mean to You?” a celebration of the community, inspired by Palisade’s ZIP code and the date 8/15/26. Bring your family, find a spot along the route, and enjoy a morning filled with hometown pride, creative floats, local organizations, and community spirit.

It’s the perfect way to experience the flavors, creativity, and community that make Palisade so special.
Celebrate the Spirit of Palisade
Peach Days is more than a weekend of events, it’s a celebration of the people, traditions, and small-town charm that make Palisade one of Colorado’s most beloved destinations. Every event brings our community together to celebrate the harvest season.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or visiting for the first time, we invite you to experience everything Peach Days has to offer and discover why Palisade is known for its warm hospitality, beautiful orchards, and unforgettable community spirit.
The celebration doesn’t end here! Continue the fun the following weekend at the Palisade Peach Festival, where you’ll enjoy farm-fresh peaches, live entertainment, local cuisine, artisan vendors, family activities, and one of Colorado’s favorite summer traditions.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Palisade this August!
