- The day kicks off with the Books & Beyond sale starting at 9:30am and running until 2pm hosted by Kirkwood Public Library
- Then, the Peach Fest runs from 10am-12pm with Tunes at ten 10pm, peachy specials at the Farmer's Market from 10am to noon, and a sidewalk sale featuring downtown Kirkwood small businesses running from 10am to 5pm
