The event is scheduled for August 10, 2013 through August 11, 2013 at William Land Park in Sacramento, California.

The banana has become a star for this festival that finds everything about this yellow fruit “a-peeling.” We serve it up in main entrees, beverages, breakfast and desserts. It’s the center of contests and the theme of the 5-k run/walk. The festival brings people together to celebrate community, food and fun! This year’s festival will celebrate a 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.
