The Penticton Peach Festival started in 1947, with the Knights of Pythias and the Penticton Rotary Club participating. Neil McKerracher was the first chairman. The date was set for mid-August of each year when peaches would be ripe. Outstanding personalities were invited and a queen and princesses selected. Events included a rodeo, an industrial show, a parade, and a crowning ceremony.
