PEACHFEST 🍑 POSTPONED UNTIL 2024
PEACHTREE CENTER PLAZA
This year 90% of Georgia’s peach crop was destroyed by the freeze—an unusually balmy winter meant trees blossomed early, only for spring frosts to kill the flowers. The Pearson Family, consisting of a framework of orchards in middle Georgia, which grow 95% of the state’s peaches, typically ship more than 150m peaches to grocery stores. This summer trees are bare and no commercial trucks are being packed. The last time the farmers lost an entire crop was in 1955. The end result, we won’t be able to celebrate the peach farms and its farmers this year without a crop.
“Summer in Georgia signals the start of peach season and this year, Atlanta’s popular Peachfest plans to return to Peachtree Center in late-July in 2024.
Next year, Peachtree Center will open The Plaza to Atlanta’s best food artisans, pastry chefs and barkeeps for the fifth annual peach-filled extravaganza for an all-inclusive guest experience.
During Peachfest, guests will be able to enjoy peach-centric dishes, beer, wine, peach-infused cocktails and more curated by leading influencers in Atlanta’s food and beverage industry. Offerings include chef-prepared dishes studded with the state’s signature fruit, the Georgia peach; crushable, peach-infused cocktails and endless beers. Guests will love the new Vinoteca Wine Lounge featuring Ribera del Duero and Rueda, Spain’s most prestigious regions for red and white wines.
The culinary lineup will always feature Atlanta’s best chefs and beverage artisans who are dedicated to supporting local farmers.”
