If you love peach season in Texas just as much as the SATXtoday editors, you’ll want to head over to The Shops at La Cantera for a fun-filled day of peach-inspired festivities.

The Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau is bringing a taste of the Texas Hill Country on Saturday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The facts

Peach season in Fredericksburg lasts through mid-August. With 600+ acres of trees, Gillespie County is one of the largest peach-producing counties in Texas. During this time, visitors can explore 15+ roadside peach stands + its farmers market with seasonal goodies.

The festival

Peach Fest encourages San Antonio residents to bring the entire family + furry friends (on leash or carrier, of course). Attendees can stroll as they sip + shop thanks to The Shops at La Cantera’s open container policy. Here’s what to expect from the day:

There will be live country music courtesy of Luckenbach Texas Pickers Circle.
The Hill Country Fruit Council will sell fresh peaches.
Wine, jellies, jams, salsas, soaps, and lotions — oh my — are available for sale via Fredericksburg wineries + specialty producers.

From the editor

Did you know peaches and almonds are related? They both come from trees but produce different things, however, they belong to the same family which also includes apples, strawberries, and plums. If you’re highly allergic to almonds, like me, this is a great fact to know when consuming different foods and fruits.
