4th annual Banana Festival, Celebrating:

* Alcohol Free Environment

The event is scheduled for August 10, 2013 through August 11, 2013 at William Land Park in Sacramento, California. The yellow fruit has become a star for
this festival that finds everything about this yellow fruit

"a-peeling." We serve it up in main entrees, beverages, breakfasts

and desserts. It's the center of contest and the theme of the 5-krun. The

festival brings people together to celebrate community, food and fun! This

year's festival will celebrate healthy environment, lifestyles and eating. The

event also highlights different cultures in Asia, Africa and the Americas who

use the banana as a source of food, art and culture. Last year's 2012 Banana
Festival attracted over 7,500 attendees. This year we will collaborate with the
Ventura, Ca. Banana Festival to attract audiences in cities throughout Northern
California. This collaboration will strengthen our outreach to families on a
regional level as we celebrate America's #1 Fruit: the Banana!
The 2013 Banana Festival theme will be "Banana Mania." Some of the
