Among the many assets of Brigham City is the history and heritage that exists. Started in 1904 as a day-off from the harvest and time to celebrate "an abundance of the best peaches in Utah", this city-wide event is the longest continually celebrated harvest festival in Utah, and is reported to be the second oldest in the country. Peach Days is an honored tradition that brings approximately 75,000 spectators a fun-filled weekend that the Top of Utah and Southern Idaho residents look forward to every year. The event takes place in September, the weekend following Labor Day (September 4th, 5th, and 6th).

Another highlight of the festival is the Miss Brigham City Peach Queen Scholarship Pageant. Each year, a new queen is chosen to represent Brigham City. A Jr. Peach Queen is also chosen.
One of the biggest attractions is the Bonnevills Rod and Custom Car Club Show at Watkins Park. Over 700 beautiful classic cars and trucks are on display. These automobiles are fascinating to the younger generation and nostalgic for those who grew up driving them.
A real highlight of the festivities is the street carnival held each night, right downtown at Forest and Main Street. A variety of on-going stage entertainment is also sure to please everyone in the family. Enjoy our:
