PeachTrees on Peachtree

You're not going to a festival. You're walking into a living orchard.

Pearson Farm and Atlanta Way 2.0 are planting two live, fruit-bearing peach orchards in the heart of downtown Atlanta during World Cup 26. PeachFest 2026 happens beneath the canopy — a first in Atlanta history.
