The story

Louisiana Peach Festival in Ruston

The Louisiana Peach Festival in Ruston celebrates the region's peach orchards each June with a peach cobbler cook-off, a parade, an arts and crafts market and live music. Ruston's sandy, well-drained north Louisiana soil made it one of the state's few areas suited to commercial peach growing, giving the town its Peach Capital identity.

Ruston sits in Lincoln Parish in north Louisiana, a region whose sandy, well-drained hill-country soil proved unusually well suited to commercial peach cultivation, distinguishing it agriculturally from the rice prairies, sugarcane fields and coastal marshes that define farming further south in the state.

The mystery stays covered

The festival's peach cobbler cook-off draws home cooks defending family recipes for what has become one of the event's signature culinary competitions, tying the celebration directly to the fruit's actual harvest season each June
