Dating back to the 1930s, this River Valley event is all about the juicy summer stone fruit. Themed events include a peach cobbler bake-off, peach pie-eating contest, peach pit-spitting contest, and—weather and crops permitting—and abundance of peaches available for purchase. Find it all in downtown Clarksville on the Courthouse Square.
