The WV Peach Fest is Coming Up In

Welcome to an Exciting Start to the 2026 WV Peach Festival! 🍑🎉

As we kick off 2026, we’re thrilled to welcome everyone back for another unforgettable West Virginia Peach Festival. Each year, this celebration grows bigger, sweeter, and more special thanks to our amazing community, sponsors, volunteers, and visitors. We look forward to an even better festival this year—filled with family fun, great entertainment, and memories that last long after the final peach is picked.

About WVPF

The West Virginia Peach Festival, held every August, celebrates the state's rich community spirit with three days of family fun. Enjoy craft vendors, live entertainment, a kids' zone, a car show, and more, all while supporting local nonprofits. Volunteers and sponsors make it all possible, creating a welcoming event for all ages to enjoy and give back.

This is what we are all about:

The West Virginia Peach Festival is more than just a great time—it's a celebration with a heart. Since 2013, this annual three-day event in Mineral County has brought families together for farm-fresh peaches, live entertainment, exciting shows, contests, and family fun.

What makes it truly special? Every peach pie you enjoy, every ticket you buy, and every activity you join directly helps those in need right here in our community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we raise funds for local nonprofits and charitable causes, including:

Feeding families through food pantries (via the 5K Run 4 Food and Peachy Bake-Off)

Supporting children battling cancer and other medical needs (like 8-year-old Douglas McDaniel through the Motorcycle Show & Run, and kids helped by Convoy for Kids and Car Show for Life)

Caring for animals at local shelters (through the Pet Show and Peachy Paws)

Giving back to our volunteer fire departments and other vital community initiatives

When you attend the West Virginia Peach Festival, you're not just making memories—you're making a real difference. You're helping feed hungry families, supporting brave kids facing illness, saving animals, and strengthening our community.

Come for the fun. Stay for the cause. Your visit truly matters.

🏍️🎗️ Riding for Douglas McDaniel

Let’s come together as a community to lift up this brave little girl and her family.

The Motorcycle Show and Run is proud to support 9 year-old Douglas McDaniel as he bravely fights leukemia. This special event is dedicated to helping Douglas and his family during a long and challenging journey—and showing them they are not alone.

Douglas was diagnosed with B-cell leukemia on September 11, 2025, and will face 2–3 years of treatment. Before his diagnosis, Douglas was a typical, active 8-year-old who loved playing football and basketball, riding his bike, and spending time outdoors fishing and hunting. About a month before his diagnosis, everything changed—he became weak, exhausted, and lost the energy to do the things he loved.

Since then, Douglas has spent time in and out of the hospital due to infections and illness related to his treatment. While he has already shown incredible strength, he still has a long road ahead before completing treatment.

💙 How You Can Help

Proceeds from the Motorcycle Show and Run will go toward supporting Douglas and his family with medical expenses and day-to-day needs. Every rider, every donation, and every show of support makes a difference.

👉 Join us in riding for Douglas and helping fuel hope, strength, and support for his journey ahead.
