This year’s Peach Fest celebrated 75 years and was the biggest and best yet, said organizers.

Peach Fest was five days of special events and performances around the downtown and lakeside, with headliners like Canadian rockers Glass Tiger on Saturday night, and a Queen tribute band that saw huge crowds Friday night.

Peach Fest is the largest free festival in Canada.
