A must do, at least once (but you'll probably want to come back) Outdoor festival grounds + huge tents filled with: *authentic German fare- (try the PICKLE SOUP!) *tables & tables of decadent Bavarian desserts *arts & crafts vendors *German specialty craft vendors *Music (german and holiday themed) *kids entertainment *horse & carriage wagon rides (last time we all sang Christmas carols as group during our ride) *bon fires *Krampus visits (our families favorite) *Santa Photos & Visits *Beer (of course) *If it's nice weather (like not too cold)- it will be crowded- so be prepared *If it's really cold weather - it will also be really crowded because more people will be in the tents, so also be prepared.

The building is absolutely gorgeous and although it wasn't open today, they did have a condensation stand with a bar. Parking was a bit of a pain though, I ended up parking a block or 2 away from the theater itself. The show was incredible and blew my expectations out of the water! My only suggestion is to not sit in the top row, as you can sometimes see what is happening in the back. Overall, we loved this place and will definitely be back!

Ms. Fumi and the team at Bi-Okoto are ready to lead you and your group (large or small) through a fun series of movements, play, sound, and singing. Stop telling your kids to sit still and not make noise. Here they'll be encouraged to get up, move around, make all the noise they can, AND work together while learning about West African culture and traditions. I took a small group of students from UC for a private lesson today, and they had an amazing time, dancing, drumming, and even singing! I'm incredibly impressed with the ability of the team at Bi-Okoto to draw everyone into the fun, and will absolutely be back with other groups in the future!

For over ten years, Bi-Okoto Drum and Dance Theatre has promoted cultural diversity and…read moreunderstanding of African heritage through music, movement and language. This troupe has toured over 39 States and countries such as South Korea , Italy, Germany, and France. Dance styles include apepe (from Ijebu, part of the Yoruba land), koroso (ceremonial dance from northern Nigeria), jameba (Nigerian tribal dance), and apeja (celebrates end of fishing festival in Nigeria). Tempo varies from subtle and sensual to boisterous and energetic but always entertaining. After seeing this group perform at the Fines Arts Fund Sampler Weekend, I understood that Bi-Okoto are teachers as well as artists. Audience participation is integral to their performances, from rhythmic clapping to responding to songs in Nigerian dialects (don't worry they'll instruct you what to say). If you have the opportunity to see Bi-Okoto, definitely check them out. A trip to Africa will never be so close to home.

We chose CCAC for our wedding reception because it was in the same neighborhood as the church where…read morewe got married. When we started planning, Raine was the event coordinator. She was immediately buffaloed by straight-forward questions, and she just would not stay organized or save/file any documents we supplied at her request, so I ended up having to make a packet of all of her info so she could keep track better. I really felt like I was her secretary, but she was supposed to be working for us! A few weeks before the wedding she was letting us know when to have our vendors come drop off our orders, but she would change the timeframe day to day, which led to me having to keep updating our florist, caterer and table rental people. Working with her added so much work on my end since I had to keep updating the vendors on when they could come drop off our order when Raine shifted the timeline and then sending the same information over and over since Raine didn't save it the first time she requested it. Luckily for us, Raine was replaced by Liz about 2 weeks before the wedding, and our experience immediately improved! Liz seems to be someone who is on top of things and cares about her clients. Liz was great about anticipating our needs beyond what we had already considered. As far as the space itself, the CCAC ballroom is a little bare, but we were really happy with how it looked with our decorations. They have a great lighting system, so we were able to program the lights on different modes for dinner versus dancing. Our guests had the chance to go around to the art gallery and onto the roof where there are a few firepits, so it was excellent for our guests who weren't big dancers. I think having other spaces for everyone to go gave everyone the chance to stay through to the end of the night. I was really happy nobody left early! For the price (about $4500), I thought the plastic folding chairs that come with the rental were a little flimsy and uncomfortable, so I splurged on banquet chairs from an outside vendor. My main selling point with CCAC was that it was walkable from our church, so I really didn't consider anywhere else. If I had worked with Liz from the start, and if CCAC offered better chairs or a little lower price I think I would easily give CCAC 5*!
