This weekend is set to be extra sweet with the return of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s annual Peach Festival. 

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Queen Street will be filled to the brim with NOTL peaches and other fruit-flavoured treats. 

This year’s culinary delights include sweet experiences like churros with peach ice cream and savoury innovations like paneer and peach skewers — something for everyone to enjoy.

As always, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church will host its ever-popular annual peach festival on Sunday, Aug. 11 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., located at 73 Picton St.

If drinks are more your speed, the Sips of Summer Drink Patio returns this year, offering NOTL peach-flavoured brews and ciders to try. 

Along with food and beverages, the festival will feature live music, an interactive art project and the yearly peach pie contest. 

Those interested in participating in the contest should bring their pies to the white tent near the Courthouse between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Aug. 10 for judging at noon.
