Lantern Street Festival - Beautiful Lighted Lanterns...

Lantern Street Festival

Beautiful Time Celebrating Ancient Cultural Diversity in Sacramento!…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lantern-street-festival-sacramento?select=wSSUqMiUI0sCyIE8XEcSpw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w SITREP Fremont Park in Downtown Sacramento became the site of the lovely Lantern Festival. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lantern-street-festival-sacramento?select=Ay_BfKSvzAy8Nd9X9w4rzw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP Sacramento has a large Chinese community - and has had one nearly since the founding of this city, and definitely since the founding of The Great State of California. The Spring Lantern Festival ("Lantern Festival") is a Chinese festival celebrated historically on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar. It marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. Fremont Park was the site for this year's festival and became a hub of activity with Decorated Lanterns, a music concert, a food truck convo, and so much more fun! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lantern-street-festival-sacramento?select=ud0mxk_sXgV9GGoSp91EdQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w LIGHT TOYS! A festival such as this DOES inspire some marked "branch-offs" when it comes to pleasing the sensibilities of children: many lighted toys make their way into the festivals. Many kids brought their light-sabers contributing to the visual array of lights. There are also some creations that I swear are Harry Potter-inspired, such as the "Lighted-Wands" that come with their own lighted globe on the end of the wand. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lantern-street-festival-sacramento?select=a2aUOqyuUd10pTam9dVN9w&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w ANCIENT HISTORY As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC), the Lantern Festival has been imbued with great significance for children, who go out at night, carrying their paper lanterns, and solving riddles that adults have placed on the lanterns. In those ancient times, lanterns were plain, and often only the nobility could afford the making of large ornate lanterns. These days, lanterns feature many different embellishments with intricate designs, including being in the shape of animals or symbols. THE WEST Because of our significant Chinese communities all over the United States, including here in California, the Lantern Festival is a significant Cultural Celebration. It is noted in many other Western countries as well, especially in cities with a large Chinese community: for example, in London, the Magical Lantern Festival (the largest Lantern Festival outside of China) is held annually. THE LOWDOWN A beautiful celebration giving we Sacramentans to enjoy some more great cultural diversity with our neighbors.

This was the first year I attended the Farm to Fork Street Festival and I'm so sad I missed out on…read moreyears of fun. No worries though, this has become a must attend event for my family. The festival was Friday and Saturday for 2024 and we attended on the Friday. It's free to enter. We arrived on the earlier side, around 5pm and it wasn't too crowded and lines for food were short. We grabbed drink tickets, which were reasonably priced- $8 for beer, $12 for cocktails and I think $10 for wine (we didn't get any wine though). There was music, a silent disco, local vendors, and on Friday there was a private Grand Tasting event that costs extra and was sold out the day of the event. We ended up stopping for drinks with Midtown Spirits, grabbed some adobo bacon jerky with Baboy Boys, a chicken and rice plate with Sweet Mother 101 and a bucket of lumpia and chicharones from Lumpia Bucket. It seemed like prices were a bit more festival prices than everyday prices, but the food was good! We walked around for a while, visited some of the interactive booths/vendors and headed out after a few hours. As we were leaving the crowds were getting larger and the lines were getting longer. They had music going throughout the event, and it was fun to listen to. Next year we plan to come on Saturday and start early in the day again. We would also consider doing the Grand Tasting in the future.

This is our second year in a row going to this festival and it's one of the better ones in town -…read moreand best of all it's free! You can reserve parking ahead of time online too for a cheaper rate so we got a spot in a parking garage right up front for only $8. There are tons of food and drink vendors, as well as shopping and local goods! They have live music all day with brief breaks in between. There are some chairs and tables set up around the event but you're better off just bringing a picnic blanket and setting up on one of the many grassy areas. I appreciate that they do the event for two days so you have the opportunity to make it to one or both days. We like going in the afternoon because the tall buildings will block out the sun by then so the weather is much cooler!

Thank goodness the band we came for started playing at 11 AM. Even then it was toasty already that we decided to leave early like before 1 PM. A suggestion is they need misters to combat the heat! We were at another different kind of festival where there were fan misters! My wife loved it! We ran into old friends. This year we didn't bother getting food bc the lines were crazy busy but my wife is on a special diet so she can't eat much of the food anyway. Many people around us bought food & the sizes looked smaller. We were even tempted to buy Gunther's freezes! Now that was super smart to have for sale, very refreshing! The teriyaki beef sammy was huge I heard this year. Inside the church gym they sold sushi & udon. Outside the food was for sale & the lines forked for days. So you must be patient. This year like the last year it was only a 1 day event. I think since Covid it has changed considerably bc before it used to be a 2 days event. I'm sure we will try again if we aren't gone traveling & the weather is cooler! I know fat chance that happens! It's like the live band Eastwind always brings the HEAT!!! There has been an occasional time that it was cool that day. That's very rare though. Maybe next year! Heehee. Watch my wife book a trip! We shall see...

I met up with friends and ran into friends I haven't seen in a while so this was a nice meet up. I arrived early as my friend has a table and we checked out the different food offerings and split up because the lines were going to be long so each person took on another order and got in line and bought the food to make the process faster. There was so much food to choose from I was so excited! We got Yakisoba noodles, Udon noodles, teriyaki grilled chicken, rice, and my favorite!! The beef sandwich it was huge! And Spicy tuna sushi rolls. They had desserts of all kinds for sell, but I didn't get any it looked amazing thought. It was a lot of people and long lines everywhere. I had a great time enjoying food with friends and just mingling. I will definitely come back next year it is well worth it and the food is fantastic! They also had a band performing ol'skool music. If you haven't been you have to check it out. You will not be disappointed.

After missing a few years of the Sacramento Arts Festival because of the pandemic, Joe K and I were…read moreexcited again to visit this once a year event! It only happens for three days in November. This time I felt like our lives were starting to have a semblance of routine and normalcy. We chose a Saturday to attend. Masks of course, were required and we were even asked to show our Covid-19 vaccine cards. I looked forward to seeing several of my favorite artists, but alas, they were not present this year, except for one. I did splurge on a lovely glass blown sea creature design by Shawn Tsai. But many wonderful artists did participate this year, making it an enjoyable day. We still made a point of visiting the regulars, seeing some new ones, and missing the ones that were not there this year.  But at least we had a full and enjoyable day making special purchases and conversing with some of the friendly people. It's nice to have more culture in our area and this show is one that makes you more aware of the beauty that people can create and inspire! The yearly tradition resumes!

Hopefully I will find some great Christmas presents for the family at the same time. After a stop for banana nut pancakes and Belgium beer we finally made our way into the convention center while a band played some smooth jazz in the background. The first thing I noticed was that the venders had their noses stuck to their cell phones, i-pads, and Kendalls. No one seemed to be paying attention to their potential customers. Is this what our world has come to? I wanted to yell at them; "put down your phones, the real world is out here". This baffling behavior continued until I finally came across a tie salesman from Berkeley by the name of Mitchel Rubin. You might think there is not much interesting about ties, but that would be because your eyes have not crossed paths with these whimsical artistic masterpieces. Mitchel not only had regular neckties but had pre tied bow ties and bow ties that you had to tie yourself for the bow tie purest and if that was not enough to get you all excited he had whimsical artistic suspender masterpieces as well. This guy was talented! He even had matching sets. Of course my girl friend had to check out all of the handcrafted jewelry and we both enjoyed the various pottery and hand blown goods. Then my girl friend found a comfortable pair of sandal that she could not pass up and I found a couple of hand thrown coffee mugs with frogs and dragonflies to buy my sister for Christmas. We stopped for a couple of frozen mochas (this has become an annual tradition) before continuing on. It was not long before my girl friend came across a ceramic masterpiece she had to get for a family member and I came across a hand blown glass Christmas ornament that looked kind of like a sparkling avocado (I buy my daughter some kind of handcrafted ornament every year). That is when I realized that I had not bought my annual Todd Borg suspense novel yet so we went in search of the Novelist from Tahoe. After purchasing the latest "Owen McKenna Mystery Thriller" and having Todd Borg personally sign it, we had just about conquered the show when my girl friend decided that we needed to get a present for a very special friend of hers so we spent at least another hour looking for the perfect present that would most clearly express our love for this friend. It was truly another successful year at the Sacramento Arts Festival.

Our competitors were (Blue Prynt, Low Brau, Devere's , Dojo, Dad's, Iron Grill, Bacon & Butter, Mighty Tavern, Dawson's, New Sloughhouse Inn, Krush Burger, Capital Garage, Pangaea Brie Cafe, Culinerdy Cruzer, Broderick). Each and every competitor brought something different to the table, so it was important to try all 15 before entering your vote for your favorite burger! I have to congratulate every competitor here tonight . All the burgers were culinary masterpieces. They looked like pictures from a magazine! Personally my 3 favorites were Broderick, Pangaea Brie Cafe, and New Sloughhouse Inn. There were at least a dozen local wine and beer breweries here tonight.(Revolution Wines, Andis Wines, Golden Coast Wine, Lagunitas Brewing Co., Yolo Brewing Co, Sierra Nevada, New Glory Craft Brewery, Rubicon Brewing Co, ect...........plus Barsotti Natural Juices, Silk Road Soda, plus many more! Make sure you leave a little room for dessert! (Cookies & Milk) offered 6 different samples of delicious cookies ! " Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Crinkel, Peanut Butter, plus one more flavor. (Pushkin's Bakery) sampled their "Mud Pie Cookie) and the best for last (Bakers Donuts) with all of their delicious donuts. To go with the donuts, Peet's Coffee offered free coffee drinks from their mobile unit . Live entertainment was provided by (Four Guys From Reno). This event was all you can eat and drink! And for ADULTS ONLY!! It is highly recommended to purchase the "VIP" tickets because you are allowed to enter an hour before the general public and also are given a free parking ticket for the parking structure right across the street! Tonight was a night to remember! All the competitors fought hard for the title of Sacramento Burger Battle 2015. For all you burger "LOVERS" out there, this is a must event to experience ! Great Food! Wine, Beer, Dessert, Live entertainment. So mark your calendar for next year epic battle for Sacramento Burger Battle 2016!

Fortunately the lines weren't too long so the wait was very short and the event was not overly crowded. We took an Uber to the event so parking wasn't an issue but there is a parking structure next to the park. My favorites were Krush Burger and de Vere's Irish Pub. They had a caprese burger - very unique! In addition to the burgers, beer, cider, and wine they had desserts. Delicious donuts from Bakers Donuts and awesome cookies from Cookies and Milk. Can't wait for next year's event!

The bands drew a mostly older crowd, but there was a mix of younger people too. There were a number of food trucks offering pizzas, burgers, Indian food, and treats. Some local radio stations, internet providers, scooter rental, and put put golf businesses also had booths at the event. They were giving away coupons, contest entries, and schwag to promote their businesses. It was all good. The drinks started at $5.00 for a water, 8.00 for a Michelob Ultra, $12.00 for a premium beer, and ended at $14.00 for a cocktail. Not exactly budget friendly, but I've seen prices that are worse. Big shout out to Bonney Heating and Air for their cooling tent with the misters. That was a game changer!

Each year it seems they get better and better headliner acts. This year they even had some last minute surprise performers such as Papa Roach and Sage the Gemini. They have a mix of music themes and just last year (2023) they made a night dedicated to EDM (electronic dance music). The music performances are definitely the highlight, but on top of that they have food vendors, clothing, accessories, silent disco, local artists and other local business booths. For alcoholic beverages- they use a token system where you buy tokens (preset amounts) at the cashier booth, then you can exchange the tokens at the bar for drinks. This year they had a VIP area where you could purchase a wristband for $15 and you get access to an exclusive 21+ section with a private bar and some seating and stand up tables (and they even served margaritas there unlike the regular bar) plus if you get there and purchase a wristband before 7pm you get a free drink token for any drink on the menu. Totally worth it. I am a huge fan of this event and recommend it to all. It's a lot of fun and again it's free entry. I have discovered some new bands this way as well and have enjoyed it.
