Palisade Colorado Tourism

Palisade, located at the base of the largest flat-top mountain in the world, Grand Mesa, is known as the peach capital of Colorado. You can find a fruit tree of any variety except citrus here. Northwest of town is Mount Garfield, the highest peak of the Bookcliffs.

In this quiet corner of the Grand Valley, you can find some of the finest wines in the state. There are twelve wineries located in or near the town. Stop in for a taste and tour of the wineries that are open all year.

Visit the Palisade Chamber of Commerce at 319 S. Main for information on river and mountain trails, wild horse viewing, bicycling tours through the orchards and the Winefest in September.

The Annual Peach Festival is held the third weekend in August in Palisade’s Riverbend Park. Activities begin Thursday evening with a free peach ice cream social and the big band sound of Swing City Express Dance Band in Downtown Palisade. Enjoy fireworks in Riverbend Park on Friday night.

The Palisade Lions’ Club opens events on Saturday in the Park with its famous Peach Pancake breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Over 80 arts and crafts vendors display their wares from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the Peach Festival Parade held mid-morning.
