Everyone was happy to be able to pick our whatever song they wanted and have it download right away. They also hooked up a microphone for us to use to wedding speeches. They dropped off the jukebox at our venue the day before and picked it up the after but only charged is to rent it for one day! It was so much more fun than having a DJ who we didn't know. I would rent it again in a heartbeat. It's a small company, and I was a little worried that the office was in an isolated part of town, but as soon as I was inside, I knew they were a solid business. It was a real pleasure to do business with someone who wasn't trying to rip you off just because you said the word "wedding." We even put a GoPro on time lapse on top of it for the reception and we have a great time lapse video of all of our friends and family dancing and picking out songs for our wedding reception.

The event is held every year at Cal Expo for 4 days. It is founded by the 18 Hmong clans as a way…read moreto serve the Hmong community in Sacramento. Hmong New Year is meant to celebrate the end of harvesting. Thus, it doesn't fall on a particular date. I was a bit hesitant in the beginning to wear Hmong clothes, but I'm glad I did. I was able to get the full experience. Clothing usually represents the clan you come from. Traditionally, clothes are handmade by grandmothers and mothers, but they can now be bought. Certain Hmong clothes are decorated with silver coins. The elaborate embroidery and flashy coins show how wealthy a girl is. Women also wear heavy pure silver necklaces. The food was an important part of the event for me. I had an order of Hmong sausage with sticky rice ($10). The sausage was really flavorful and I liked dipping it in the hot pepper sauce. My mouth was burning. I also ordered nab vam- Hmong three colored drink that consisted of yellow/ red/ green jelly, syrup, coconut milk, and ice. I wished there was more coconut milk in it. There were a lot of vendors selling stuff, such as traditional clothes, jewelry, DVDs, herbs, etc. There was also a pageant, sports tournaments, dance competitions, and Hmong Idol competitions. I didn't get a chance to see any of it though. I did catch the small parade that consisted of musical instruments being played and pageant girls riding in cars. I learned about a traditional courting game they play- pov pob. Single boys and girls line up across from one another and toss a tennis ball back and forth until someone drops the ball. The one who drops it is supposed to give the other person a piece of their clothing or jewelry. I had a pretty good time. If I didn't come here with my Hmong friend, I would probably give the event 3 stars instead of 4 stars. She helped me learn more about her culture. * $4 entrance fee * Children under 5 and senior who are 65 and older are FREE * $10 parking fee for those that are parking in the Cal-Expo lot.

First, I understand that an event of this caliber takes time and devotion…read more Ok... just saw the Web site. I actually feel kind of angry about the board of directors and the elected officers because they're ALL MEN. I mean, yes it's true that the organization is ran by the 18 or semi-19 clans. And at the head of those clans are all men. And yes, only men have voting rights within those clans, therefore within the event organization. It's 2009. Today, I find myself asking: Is the Hmong community progressing? Or is it regressing? Other than that, the event is the usual. The old folks go to mingle with their long lost friends. The kids tag along with their grandparents or their parents. The young teens go to eat papaya salad. And the single 20 to 30 year olds... Not sure where they fit. I think that's where the board of directors and officers haven't quite figured out yet.

For my first review of 2019 I give you: this event that I attended waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back…read morein 2018. What a slacker. It's hard to say No when you win some free tix. So I didn't. I went. And it was a blast! The tickets are a smidge too expensive normally for me to consider returning next year ($80 advance, $110 otherwise), but I did have a nice time with my bestie, her hubs, and of course my companion DO. The endless drinkies (beer, wine, spirits, cocktails) are I think the best selling point Best of Sac Party has when you look at how much it costs to attend. Most booths will keep supplying you until you're either unconscious or they run out. Best of Sac also allows Sacramentans and various other visitors to hobnob with notable personalities, vendors, and business owners in what I felt was a laidback fashion. There were many folks in attendance that I'm used to seeing on the news channels. Scoring a handroll from Taro himself at the Mikuni booth was one for the memory books. I was able to meet the owner of a winery in Placerville that I've been wanting to visit because my favorite wine guy recently started working there. So why else would people attend this thing? There's the community aspect, the opportunities to donate to various local charities, the complimentary tastes of appetizers and desserts, the art displays, opportunities to shop for holiday gifts, the booze, and also I think it's a good event for people into event or wedding planning. A solid evening was had by all in my party, and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to go. Networking in Sacramento is the way to go! ;-)
