The 54th annual Peach Blossom Festival of Oral Interpretation will attract about 6,000 children from 200 central San Joaquin Valley elementary schools to Fresno State March 15 and 16.
The festival is hosted by the Department of Communication, part of the College of Arts and Humanities at Fresno State.
Children are brought to campus from as far north as Livingston in Merced County to Delano in Kern County.
The festival now draws pupils from schools as far north as Livingston and as far south as Delano.
The festival was created to help young people gain knowledge of and appreciation for literature through oral interpretation and performance. The festival also gives the children an opportunity to visit a university campus.
