The entertainment is free and concludes about 4 p.m. 

Thousands of patrons descended on Johnston each year to enjoy the day set aside to honor the peach industry, which has been so important in the development of the area.  Each year, the Town goes all out with the Festival to remind citizens about the peach industry and to open its arms to visitors.
