In the past the festival, which takes place in Historic Downtown Marysville, about a 40-minute drive north of Sacramento, festivalgoers have numbered close to 30,000 over the two-day event.
It all starts with healthy peach trees planted by local growers which absolutely thrive in the hot climate so typical of the Sacramento valley area.
