Time Traveling & Good ol’ Fashion Family Fun

Every time I turn around these days it seems Old Sacramento has something new up its sleeve. This time it’s the Silent Movie Festival happening every Saturday evening through July and August. Not enough to get your interest piqued just yet? Image… old time movies from 1900-1929, audience involvement and sing-alongs, period performers with music, mini skits and comedic acts, and each Saturday night offering something different – from early dramas and comedies to fantasies and more! More than you imagined? Me too. Eagle Theatre, 7PM, $5.

Wait, there’s still more: Time Travel Weekends in Old Sac, which is a free street theatre program with live roaming entertainment, 11AM-5PM, through August.

Goodbye to Summer?

Summer Fades Slowly in Sacramento

Summer Fades Slowly in Sacramento


Not yet. Not entirely. Not in Sacramento!

With our mild autumn weather, late Indian Summer and days still lingering longer than nights, those of us who don’t get summer breaks can immerse in summertime activities up until (and sometimes even through) the solstice at October’s end. Here are just a few things to look forward to this month while paying homage to clear skies, warm breezes and a softer sun spilling all around ~

Oktoberfest 2009 at Brew It Up – Thursday, Sept. 17
CA Brewer’s Festival – Saturday, Sept. 19
Eat Your Art Out Edible Walking Tour – September 26
Sacramento World Music & Dance Festival – Sept. 26/27

And don’t even get me started on the sweet blending of summer and fall in October and November! Well, not just yet anyway.
