Participants can also attend informational sessions about plum farming, reports the Vnexpress Online Newspaper.

The event helps promote a variety of agriculture products from the local area and is a chance for visitors to experience the lives of farmers and enjoy tree ripened plums fresh from the orchard.

Thousands of visitors from across the country are attending in the festival, leading to heavy traffic congestion, says the executive board of the Festival. 

Young visitors are excited about the chance to pick plums, says one farmer, noting that he sold one ton of fruit to youngsters on May 27 alone.
