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.
The vendors
- Hill Country Fruit Council will feature 14 orchards from Fredericksburg.
- Cool off with some Italian Ice from Piccolina Italian Ice.
- Try peach-infused salsa, jellies, and jams from Fredericksburg Farms.
- Get your hands on Texas pecan products and gifts from the Fredericksburg Pecan Company.
- Grab a beer from Altstadt Brewery.
- Try some wine from Fiesta Winery, Becker Vineyards, Narrow Path Winery, Airis’Ele Vineyards, and Pontotoc Vineyards.
