This place is crap. You have to pay for everything, even after the $5 entrance fee and $5 parking fee. Such a waste of money.

Radio 94.7 put on a decent attempt for City of Trees' first year. Entertaining bands, local…read morevendors, local eats, beautiful venue (and how grateful I was for the trees!), affordable VIP tickets with enough perks to make it worth the cost. The venue was not only scenic, but the stages were set up so that there really wasn't a bad seat in the place. Big thumbs up for that coming from a short person who always struggles to see the action at concerts and music festivals. Band highlights for me included Of Monsters and Men and Elle King. If it ended there, then it would have been a perfect day. But of course, as festivals go, there were glitches that could have been avoidable: * Adequate water. Even at 2:30 p.m. first thing inside the festival, the water line looked ominous. I filled my bottle immediately knowing that the line was only going to grow. And yes, the line grew so much that the throngs of people cut the venue in half. My second time in line, the only available water station ran out during the hottest part of the day. I saw no one handing out bottles like you claim, but I was escorted over to a hose where the first aid folks were filling bottles one at a time until a replacement water truck was set up to replace the empty station. 94.7 later claimed there were water fountains, but I don't know how they expected festival-goers to know where to find them. And those water coolers at the first aid stations? No bottle filling allowed. Knowing what Sacramento summer weather is like (100 degrees on this particular day), there should have been a better plan to keep people hydrated. More water stations and a plan to keep the water flowing, please! * No water in vs. no water out. I totally get the "no water in" rule at music festivals because of the threat of patrons sneaking in booze (especially when the festival offers free water inside), but the "no water out" rule perplexed me. Before I left, I filled my water bottle in case there was a wait to get out of the parking lot, only to be told I had to dump it before I was allowed to leave. That was a music festival first, and I've been to a lot of music festivals. Did they really think I'd gotten my hands on 30 ounces of their mediocre vodka and was about to swill it in the parking lot before a perilous joy ride back into the city? What about those folks who hoofed it a mile or more to the park entrance in a haze of dust to catch a Lyft? What about those who waited hours in their car to get out of the park? Totally unnecessary rule that likely kept liquids from those who needed it. * Lights after dark. This was my first time at Gibson Ranch County Park, and what a surprise it was to exit the concert at night, only to find that there were NO lights beyond the concert entrance. Parking lots were no longer visible. Jungle gyms were no longer visible. Picnic areas were no longer visible. Pot holes and wire fences were no longer visible either. It was so dark that as I walked to my car, I saw a shooting star (OK, that part was cool). I only found my car because I made a mental list of landmarks I had passed on the way in early in the day. I was lucky enough to have juice on my phone to power the flashlight so that I wouldn't end up tripping on anything, and I used my key fob to hear my way closer to my car. How silly it was that once I found my car, I had to circle the parking lot searching for the exit onto road leading out of the park. (Note: I left midway through Cake's set, so I bypassed the hours-long wait to exit the park.) All that said, I still think it was a decent event that's a good addition to the Sacramento scene. I'm looking forward to an even better concert experience next year.

We came for the first time on NYE night & could tell that some homes were not as decked out/lit up…read moreanymore & the experience was not full impact. However, there were hardly any cars, so we could do a slow, easy drive. It was still magical with lots of lights throughout this neighborhood. The standout feature was that the streets were lined with continuous strings of white lights that swagged down the participating areas, creating lit paths to follow. It was impressive! There were definitely some houses that went above, while others were more simple, but all delightful to see. Here & there, Christmas trees were in the middle of a court or roundabout. We aren't familiar with the neighborhood & lost track of how we meandered through, so next year we'll try to figure out a good route. We'll definitely plan to come back earlier during the next holiday season to enjoy the full experience.

Rockmont Lights in Natomas is all they say it is and more!…read more My friend, daughter and I wanted to check out Christmas lights last night and decided to check out Rockmont Lights instead of fighting the Fab 40's crowd. It was a first time for all of us and we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived around 7:30pm and it was already pretty busy, but we found some parking on a nearby street. Most of the streets surrounding Java Court were festively decked out and flooded with people - we made our way over to Java Court and I was so surprised to see a massive Christmas tree in the center of the court. There was Santa and The Grinch happily taking photos with families and a couple of fire pits that people were warming up by! They were handing out candy canes to passing cars and I believe they were even selling hot cocoa in front of a few houses! You can drive around the area, but I highly recommend walking it to fully experience the magic that Rockmont Lights has to offer! Make sure you bundle up though! Rockmont Lights definitely gives Dovewood Court and even some streets in the Fab 40's a run for its money! We will be visiting every year now and making it a new tradition!

Second year in a row going to this festival. This was the first year at this venue. I can't say…read moreenough good things about the festival, they work hard to have the best bands and arrange the set times and stages where you can see the most music possible. Many of the problems with last years festival were fixed with the change in venue. Last year security was a little overzealous when checking at entry with hands on searches and questioning camera lenses, this year it was about as smooth as it gets. Last year the festival took place in September in prime CA heat surrounded by dirt; this year it was in late October, perfect weather and plenty of green grass and shade. Some tips to make this festival more enjoyable: 1. Purchase tickets around August, early bird tickets are much more reasonable. 2. Purchase parking passes ahead of time from the festival (I saved ten dollars like this) 3. Arrive at concert as early as you can (I arrived around 11:30 Saturday and 12:30 Sunday and still required a little time to get through traffic and was long walk from parking to venue (bands start at 11 and there was plenty of food carts and seating. 4. Go to the sides of stages, plenty of room and opportunity to get close (most shoving and pits start in the middle) 5. Don't drink too much Love this festival and will sure to be back next year, really appreciate all the hard work the promoters, venue and security put into making the festival happen

I live about 4 miles away from the festival so I figured lots of traffic I would get dropped off…read more Well that did not work out so well. It took 2 hours to get from my house to inside the festival. There were definitely some logistics problems even with being dropped off. 3 mile walk to get in but hey now I know I can do a 5k race right? Once inside the venue was great. Lots of grass and trees. There was probably enough room for twice as many people. I was in the VIP zone which had lots of seating and a big bar plus many food vendors with short lines. Great line up of talent was on the stage. Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Marilyn Manson, Shinedown and Slipknot all rocked the house. Good show. Will definitely be there again next year if it happens.

Big thanks to Regina W for posting this event on Yelp so I could hear about it and attend - it was…read moreso much fun!! Inside the giant multipurpose room at Sacramento High School, the SacTown Veg Fest is a totally free annual come-together for a wide array of veg friendly businesses, food vendors and animal based organizations. Food, service, information, products... and more food! Since a lot of these vendors don't actually occupy retail stores and are more wholesale, it was a real treat to get a look at the latest products that they offer (and also sample them) as well as have the ability to purchase various items in one single location. We were also able to support the Sacramento High School students who participate in the on-campus garden and culinary programs. They make a delicious vegan chili! This is really a valuable event to check out with a lot of great vendors and information, regardless if you eat meat or not. I even ran into my favorite yelp couple who stopped by to check it out for health-conscious reasons. I can't wait for next year!

Happened to stop by the new location for SacTown Veg Fest at Mcclellan Convention center. Plenty of…read moreparking with no parking fee, though this was BUSY! And a warm day to boot. I was a bit unhappy about the $5 entrance fee, mostly because there were two events on Facebook and one of them did not have any admission prices listed. $5 isn't much, but I don't really understand the cover charge to go in just to look at vendors and spend more money. It wasn't a huge event. You'll probably walk around for 30-45 minutes and you're done. So I had to use the ATM on site, which I'm usually not fond of and incur an additional $3 fee. The event itself was cool and I got some good stuff like maple almond butter and cashew parmesan. I happily found the cultured kitchen so I could try their products as it's cheaper buying directly from them vs at the local health food stores. Most of the food vendors and trucks were outside, but very pricey. $20 for a chk'n mac and cheese burger. Yikes. $9 for a hot dog. $8-$10 for a shake. You would skip the entrance fee if you just wanted to get some grub since it was all outside. I ended up getting a giant pizza slice for $8, which was good.
