The Peach Days Tradition

Hurricane sits on a bench below the Hurricane Cliffs that was dry ground until the Hurricane Canal, finished in 1904 after more than a decade of hand labor, brought Virgin River water to it. Orchards followed, and peaches became the town's crop. Peach Days honors that history with guided treks along the old canal, a pioneer corner and farm display, and a peach cook-off, alongside a modern small-town festival.
