Its September 2002 edition included a freestyle disc tournament organized by the Freestyle Players Association.[1]

The name change in 2001 from California Prune Festival to California Dried Plum Festival provoked some amused comments from onlookers.[2]

Parade

Every year, on the Friday before the two-day weekend festival began, the Prune Parade would take place in the downtown district of Yuba City on Plumas Street. Community groups, businesses, and local schools would participate in creating floats for the parade.
