Only in Sacramento can you fight cancer while watching live wrestling, combat immigration raids with the power of cumbia, pay homage to the ancestors in a makeshift graveyard, catch a wink from a psychedelic surf siren — and still make it out to the annual Thanksgiving Day fun run without missing a beat.
First, join punk bands and wrestlers as they collide during Danny Reynoso’s F*ck Cancer benefit shows, with 16 acts across five venues raising funds for the American Cancer Society. Toronto surf-rockers, The Surfrajettes, turn Harlow’s into a Tarantino-worthy fever dream complete with knee-high go-go boots, while Oak Park Brewing Co. hosts the release of the collaborative hip-hop album, “Hometown Heroes Vol. 1,” spotlighting an unforgettable lineup of local emcees.
El Panteón de Sacramento, hosted by the Latino Center of Art & Culture, invites the community to celebrate Día de los Muertos with vibrant altars and live dance performances. And even more seasonal traditions return to the City of Trees as the downtown ice rink reopens and Run to Feed the Hungry rallies thousands of walkers and turkey-clad joggers to East Sacramento to support the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services’ mission. Here’s everything you need to make the most of fall’s final days this November.
