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.
