The Michigan Peach Festival of Romeo is back, now in its 80th year, running daily through Labor Day, with all the fun a festival can offer. We're talking beauty queens, art and craft fairs, good foods, carnival rides every day, beer and refreshments, live music, and Vegas games ... and much more!
It's hard to pick a highlight, but today from 7-11 p.m. the Peach Queen Reception will be held at the historic Gray's Opera House/Masonic Temple at 231 N. Main St.
Guests will be able to meet Peach Queens past and present, enjoy desserts, appetizers, wine and peach refreshments crafted by area businesses. There will be live music and entertainment as well.
